Women of Wyndham (WOW) and RaMon Helps Inc. organised Family Well Being Day on the 7th of August, 2016 at the Wyndham City Council with the help of family, friends, dedicated volunteers, very helpful community members, extremely supportive Councillor Heather Marcus and Councillor Bob Fairclough.
Founder of WOW, Mrs. Monica Raizada and her strongly community associated husband, Mr. Rakesh Raizada initiated and executed the event along with their equally strong and active team. The event focused on the area of Family Violence and Mrs. Monica managed to bring together a team of panelists to the prime issue. All the panelists were among the leading names from the Indian Australian community in Melbourne and from various professional backgrounds. Special guest for the evening was Member Of Parliament Joanne Ryan and Constable Dawn Youla. The Family wellbeing day was anchored by leading model/actor Preeti Daga and Divya Bakshi.
Leading business entrepreneur Mrs. Yogita Bhardwaj was one of the panelists at the family well-being day. Mrs. Bhardwaj added valuable points and emphasised on the crux of the problem. She shared the idea of being a mother herself of two, adding that how she can easily relate to the thought process of a child at that young age and appealed to all the women to take a stand against family violence to save their own self, their children and family.
The event was an eye opener was many as it brought out new points for people. Not only this, but new ways to cope with the rising problem so that it can be nipped in the bud before it becomes one of the biggest social menace.
