Community members unite

Community members came together today (Friday 28 November 2025) to take a united stand against family and domestic violence in Mosman’s fourth annual Walk for Women. 

With representation from Mosman Council, NSW Police, Lifeline, Taronga Zoo, Rotary Club of Mosman, and local domestic and family violence support services, more than 100 people joined the walk in and around Rawson Oval.  

It follows the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on 25 November and comes during a global 16 Days of Activism campaign. 

Attendees gathered after the walk to hear from guest speakers. They included Andrew Ward, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of mental health charity Head Above Water, who shared insights to his organisation’s work in helping boys to make the connection between the male stereotype, and the impact it can have on themselves and others. This is important in helping to reduce the number of domestic violence acts and to improve the mental health and wellness of those impacted. North Shore Police Area Command domestic violence supervisor Sergeant Larissa Ryan also spoke of measures undertaken in the last twelve months to better protect victims of domestic and family violence.
