Last night, we joined community members and attended one of many vigils held across Australia to remember those who have been killed by domestic and family violence. ⁣ ⁣ Crime Statistics Agency figures show family violence incidents in Victoria have increased by 2% in the year to December 2023. Every year, our frontline police attend over 93,000 family violence incidents across the state - that’s one family violence incident every six minutes. ⁣ ⁣ The vigils are a call to action and mark the beginning of Domestic Violence and Family Violence Prevention Month. ⁣ ⁣ Victoria Police is committed to working with and for the community, to end domestic and family violence, this month and every month. ⁣ ⁣ Learn more about the ways you can report family violence via the link in our bio, ‘Family Violence' tab. ⁣ #LightACandle2024 #Vigil2024 #WeRememberYou #NeverForgotten #EndDV safestepsfv
