Join Project 5-O and Queen Victoria Women’s Centre (QVWC) on 21 November at the SleepSafe Breakfast and show your support for the campaign to end violence against women.

On 21 November 2007, the Melbourne community is invited to show their support for the campaign to end violence against women. The SleepSafe Breakfast supports White Ribbon Day - the international campaign to eliminate violence against women by promoting culture-change around the issue – and is part of the International 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence Campaign.

The SleepSafe Breakfast aims to raise public awareness of the prevalence and impact of domestic violence within the community and to see an end to violence against women and children, allowing all a safe night's sleep.

ABC journalist and UNIFEM representative Helen Brown will MC the event at the Park Hyatt, Melbourne.

Guests are encouraged to donate a pair of women’s or children’s pyjamas which will be given to local women’s refuges to help those who cannot sleep safely at home know they are cared for and have a more comfortable night’s sleep.

White Ribbon Day Ambassador and AFL Players’ Association CEO Brendon Gale will speak.

The SleepSafe Breakfast is organised by Project 5-O, a coalition of BPW Australia, Soroptimist International, Zonta International, National Council of Women, Federation of University Women Australia, with the support of QVWC.
