Since 2020, DV Safe Phone have been collecting, repairing and distributing free mobile phones to domestic violence (DV) victims through their nationwide network of more than 400 agency partners [ DV agencies, police stations, hospitals and safe houses ].
They are working diligently toward a future where domestic violence victims are empowered to live safe, connected lives through sustainable technology solutions.
As technology and AI develops, sadly, so do the tools for perpetrators of domestic violence, manipulation and entrapment. For Domestic Violence victims, a safe phone isn’t just a device - it is a lifeline. It can provide emergency contacts, safety planning tools and a pathway to indepence.
With community support they are saving and transforming lives, promoting sustainability and uniting communities for real change.
There are many ways to get involved with DV Safe Phone.
You can donate phones or fundraise on their behalf, become one of their network of 400 agency partners, or work with them as a community, phone collection or corporate partner.
Just imagine … If every Council in Australia was a collection point for donated phones, collecting just one phone a week each ? Over the course of a year that would add up to over 27,900 phones available for those precious souls in the community needing a life line for their safety.
It’s important to note that DV Safe Phones do not provide phones directly to DV victims. Their safe phones are distributed through trained DV support organisations.
Get involved by posting about DV Safe Phone on social media ( Facebook address & Instagram address ), host a fundraising event and spread the word in your Council, team and organisation.
Do you need a phone for yourself or someone you know ?
Please contact one of their partner organisations closest to you. You can find a full list of them on the HALT Map at haltmap.raisely.com
Head to dvsafephone.org to find out more on how big a difference you can make by donating that old phone you have sitting in the kitchen drawer at home.
Together we can help us ensure that every call for help is heard.
