Tackle Domestic Violence
Each week in Australia a woman is killed because of family and domestic violence.
Now more than ever the community needs to stand together to show that family and domestic violence is not acceptable.
The North Queensland Women’s Legal Service, North Queensland Toyota Cowboys and the Townsville Fire have formed a partnership to tackle domestic violence. The ‘Tackle DV’ Campaign is calling on Queensland families across the State to take a stand against domestic violence.

You Can’t Beat a Woman
In 1996, NQWLS launched the ‘You Can’t Beat a Woman’ campaign to raise awareness and to raise funds to support its work in providing free legal services for women experiencing family and domestic violence.
Now in 2016, with proposed funding cuts of 30% affecting community legal centres from 1 July 2017, NQWLS has relaunched the Campaign and is asking the community to support the vital work it does for vulnerable women and their children.
‘You Can’t Beat a Woman’ T-shirts* and badges are available for purchase. All proceeds go to NQWLS domestic violence prevention and response work and front line services. Contact the Townsville office on 4772 5400 for more information.
*T-shirts can be ordered in S, M, L, XL & up to 3XL and come in white, black, grey and a long sleeved option.
Rosie with a Tattoo
In 2020, a long term member and supporter of NQWLS updated the famous ‘Rosie the Riveter’ image by giving her an NQWLS tattoo. We absolutely loved it, and what it represented, and set about creating our latest merchandise line.
Rosie inspired millions of women during the war years and she will forever be an inspiration, reminding women everywhere that they CAN do it.
