Just Cause
Just Cause was launched in 2020 as a family and domestic violence prevention campaign and social enterprise. The campaign aims to bring Family and domestic violence out of the darkness and into the light and runs annually in conjunction with the International 16 Days of Activism commencing on 25 November and concluding on 10 December.
In its inaugural year Just Cause teamed with volunteers including artists Sarana Haeata and singer song-writer Stella Donnelly, to shine a light on equality in relationships. In 2021, Just Cause established itself as a positive, healthy relationship focused brand encouraging the community to join the movement for – A world with more kindness, equality, justice, respect, humanity and freedom. Our ambassadors included comedian and presenter Joel Creasey and his mum Jenny, Kav Temperley from Eskimo Joe and his wife Beth, Mercy Cornwall, screen actor, and Fremantle Docker Caleb Serong, who together with other generous ambassadors shared what they would like more of in the world, to model behaviours that represent healthy relationships, and remind us of what we all deserve.
This year we ask you to join our frontline team who not only step up every day to care for clients affected by family and domestic violence but, recognising the impact of coercive control on the community, have agreed to be our 2022 ambassadors. So grab a tee, tote and/or pin and wear them proud. Every item is accompanied by the most valuable tag in town, one that provides ample information to spark conversations about the freedom we all deserve in our relationships and helps solve the puzzling nature of coercive control.
As a social enterprise all proceeds directly support our crisis care services and prevention initiatives. We also welcome corporate support and encourage workplaces to join us leaders in prevention and seize the benefits this will have for employees and overall team culture.
We all have the opportunity to educate ourselves, change community attitudes and stop violence before it occurs, to find out more visit Just Cause or please contact us on donations@pgcnv.org.au.

Olga Ramasamy was a remarkable woman. A daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and mentor to many who were not even related to her. Olga championed for women’s empowerment and dedicated her life to the relentless pursuit of making a difference in every life she touched. Given women’s causes were very dear to her heart, it is no surprise that on her passing Olga chose to leave a legacy for the Patricia Giles Centre for Non-Violence.
