Subscriber only Seventy-five women and children have been killed in domestic violence incidents in Australia since the beginning of 2020. On Wednesday night, more than 100 people came together at Maroochydore to honour those who have lost their lives and mark the beginning of Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month.
