Safe Steps 2023 Statistics
Although it affects people of all genders, races and socioeconomic backgrounds, women are disproportionately impacted by these forms of abuse.
In 2022 in Australia, an average of 13 women a day were hospitalised due to family and domestic violence. Their unwavering commitment to helping women rebuild their lives resonates deeply with our core value of nurturing the relationships with our community, which is why supporting Safe Steps is embedded in Sarah Urban.
OUR ACTIONS
Our partnership began in 2022 with MDXO - the Ultimate Mother’s Day Out event. In 2024, we officially renewed our partnership with Safe Steps in the lead up to International Women’s Day. 20% of the value of every R&R and Little Things gift box will be donated to Safe Steps for the charity to use at their discretion. If a customer purchases any gift box as a donation to Safe Steps, we will also match the gift box and send them two. This will be complemented by an in-store event on the 8th of March, with morning mimosas to unite our community and further raise awareness. Following International Women's Day, we will continue to honour this partnership with Safe Steps.
You can contribute to this vital cause in the following ways
