## Caption

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.
