Paul, Chair of the Rotary Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Prevention Committee for District 9510, recently joined Rob McLennan on Coast FM 88.7 to discuss Rotary’s commitment to building safer, more respectful communities and helping make South Australia a State of Peace.

In response to the recommendations of the South Australian Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence, Rotary District 9510 is mobilising its extensive network of members and clubs to support positive community change. With Rotary members serving communities across South Australia and beyond, the organisation is uniquely placed to promote awareness, respect, and meaningful action.

As part of this vision, Rotary District 9510 is planning a Walk for Respect on Saturday, 7 November 2026, inspired by the successful initiative first established in Ballina, New South Wales. Community members and Rotary members will be encouraged to wear purple and walk together in support of respectful relationships, safer communities, and the prevention of domestic, family, and sexual violence.

The Walk for Respect aims to bring people together in a visible show of support for a culture of peace, dignity, and mutual respect. Through collective action and community engagement, Rotary continues to champion initiatives that create lasting social impact and strengthen the communities we call home.
