The Honourable Diana Bryant, AO, QC

 

“I am proud to be associated with Spirit of Woman as their Patron. The Place of Courage will be South Australia’s first dedicated contemporary commemorative public art space to not only honour women who rest in peace but also be a place of contemplation, remembrance, giving courage, strength, hope and healing. We are committed to a State response in the prevention, awareness raising and commemorating the survivors of Domestic and family violence. This can only be achieved with the support of the community. Many people want to do something about family violence but are unsure how to make a difference. This is a tangible way to assist and I urge you to consider making a donation to assist in this truly ground-breaking venture.”
