SAY NO Selfie Campaign

From August through to October Elysian Photography has been visiting individuals, businesses and groups along the NW Coast of Tasmania taking photos for the SAY NO Selfie Campaign.

Domestic Violence is sadly becoming ever more prevalent, with 1 in 5 woman, and 1 in 20 men experiencing domestic violence at the hands of the people who ‘love’ them. The aim of the SAY NO Selfie Campaign is to raise much needed awareness and money to assist those affected by domestic violence, in our local communities, by publicly ‘SAYING NO’. The money raised by this campaign will be used to create emergency packs for woman and children who have had to leave violent situations abruptly. These packs will be donated directly to the Ulverstone and Burnie Women’s Shelters.

The ‘Say NO’ Selfie Campaign will raise awareness by encouraging local businesses to display ‘Say NO’ photos throughout Devonport, Ulverstone, Penguin, and Burnie during the month of November. The photos were taken by Elysian Photography with profits going towards creating the emergency packs. Individuals were also be able to donate and receive their own ‘Say NO’ photo.
