CANDLES will illuminate Mount Gambier’s Cave Gardens next month as community members gather together to remember women who have lost their lives as a result of domestic and Aboriginal family violence.
The vigil, organised by the Limestone Coast Family Violence Action Group and Soroptimist International Mount Gambier, will be held on May 5 at 5.30pm.
Domestic violence survivor and advocate Glyn Scott will address crowds at the event, detailing her difficult circumstances she lived through and using her strength to bring her perpetrators to justice.
Ms Scott’s teenage and early adult years were lived in constant fear, with domestic violence and rape a daily occurrence and by the age of 19, had three children to care for and protect.
