For domestic violence (DV) victims, access to a safe phone can mean the difference between life and death. Perpetrators often use phones to control and monitor their victims, leaving them isolated and without a secure way to keep in contact with friends and family or seek help.
At DV Safe Phone, we give your old phone a new purpose by helping DV victims stay connected, stay safe, and move forward towards a brighter future. We collect, repurpose and gift mobile phones to domestic violence (DV) victims. These ‘safe phones’ are a vital link to emergency services, support networks, and loved ones.
Our goal is to get a safe phone into the hands of every Australian DV victim who needs one. With over two million known DV victims in Australia, there is no doubt we have a significant challenge on our hands. However, we know that with your help, we can break down barriers to accessing vital help when it is needed most. You can play a vital role in ensuring every call for help is heard. Head here to learn more and get involved.
