‘Dress to Express Day’ Beyond DV

In partnership with Brisbane Fashion Festival, join Beyond DV in the Queen Street Mall on Friday 25 August for “Dress to Express” Day.

Wear your most fabulous outfit- walk in solidarity with DV survivors on their own journey to rediscover their identity and style!

How fabulous do we feel when we wear our favourite outfit?

Sadly, many community members in abusive relationships don’t get to choose what they wear. This is one of the most common forms of coercive control.
