POETRY CORNERS [HUME]
Every year, one in three women experience violence in Australia, leading to thousands of police call outs, homelessness and the loss of at least one woman’s life every week. In collaboration with a group of twenty-two culturally diverse women from Melbourne, SKOSP delivered the POETRY CORNERS primary prevention campaign, which challenged participants to create a powerful and thought provoking digital poetry work about family violence in their communities. The work was then performed passionately by some of the writers themselves as well as other members of the community for video piece One in Three.

Following the digital release, the group also published a book with a compilation of twenty-three additional poems in four different languages; Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi and English. This book is currently on exhibition at Clayton Library as part of the Walk Against Violence mapping project created as part of Poetry Corners [Monash] .
Poetry Corners [Hume], 2016, is kindly funded by the Victorian Governments Community Crime Prevention program in association with Some Kind of Squirrel Productions, Northern Community Legal Centre, Prime Star, WD Corporate Design, Hume City Council and Oorja Foundation.
