Sunshine Warriors
Children are at greater risk of family, domestic, and sexual violence.
According to the 2021-22 PSS, about 1 in 8 (13% or 2.6 million) people, aged 18 years and over, witnessed violence towards a parent by a partner before the age of 15. A higher proportion of people had witnessed partner violdence against their mothers (12%, or 2.2 million) than their fathers (4.3%, or 837,000) (ABS 2023a).
Sunshine Warriors is the first organisation of its kind.
At Sunshine Warriors, we bring light and hope back into the lives of children and young people impacted by domestic violence through a culturally informed, trauma-aware approach that prioritizes healing, communities of support, self-determination, empowerment, and health and wellness. Founded as a survivor-led organization, we firmly believe that children and young people experiencing or escaping DV are not just witnesses but victim-survivors in their own right.
Our mission is to create safe, culturally informed, and trauma-aware spaces where children and young people can heal, rebuild their confidence, and envision a brighter future. Through our programs, advocacy, and community collaboration, we strive to break the cycle of trauma and replace it with SUNSHINE.
