2025 Collaboration: SLSJ (Students for Law & Social Justice)

Rise Against Domestic Violence SA is pleased to announce a collaboration with CT SLSJ to provide training for their 4th-year law students, commencing on 1 March 2025.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Legal Volunteers

At Rise, we firmly believe that education and awareness are powerful tools in the fight against domestic violence. It is with immense gratitude and pride that we extend our heartfelt thanks to our incredible legal volunteers for their invaluable role in training the Students for Law and Social Justice (SLSJ) about the complexities and realities of domestic violence.

Your dedication to empowering the next generation of legal minds with practical knowledge, compassion, and understanding is truly inspiring. The time and effort you have invested in sharing your expertise, insights, and experiences have undoubtedly left a profound impact on these students, equipping them to advocate for survivors and champion justice with empathy and professionalism.

Training students on a subject as sensitive and vital as domestic violence is no small task. Your ability to bridge legal theory with the lived realities of survivors has provided these aspiring lawyers with a deep and meaningful understanding of the law’s role in protecting and supporting those in need. This goes beyond academics—it is shaping a future where justice is not only served but also deeply compassionate.

Your commitment to this cause and your willingness to give your time, energy, and knowledge do not go unnoticed. Every session, every discussion, and every piece of wisdom shared is a step closer to creating a world where domestic violence is eradicated, and survivors are supported and empowered.

At Rise, we are incredibly grateful for your unwavering support and dedication. Your selflessness exemplifies the core values of our organization, and your efforts remind us that change is possible when we work together.

Thank you for making a difference not only in the lives of SLSJ students but also in the lives of countless survivors who will benefit from their future advocacy. Together, we are rising against domestic violence and building a brighter, safer future for all.
