WHO ARE WE FUNDRAISING FOR?
Profits raised from Dangerous Females fundraising activities will be donated to Australian services that prevent and support women who are victims of abuse, assault and domestic violence. These services provide a range of support to our communities from women’s shelters, advocacy, domestic violence counselling and community education, emergency safety planning and re-homing from violence situations.
