Oh Mother


Up to 50% of all homeless mothers and children are fleeing from domestic violence


25% of pregnant women have been subject to domestic assault.

One of the likeliest cause of death for women in the age range 18 to 40 is at the hands of a partner who is violent

Violence against women is primarily intimate partner violence

Oh Mother


~ a moving song written by Christina Agilera who witnessed dometsic abuse as a child and now dedicates time and resources to supporting victims of Domestic Violence
via the 1736 family crisis centre


Christina Agilera

"She was so young with such innocent eyes
She always dreamt of a fairytale life
And all the things your money can't buy
She thought he was a wonderful guy
Then suddenly, things seemed to change
It was the moment she took on his name
He took his anger out on her face
She kept all of her pain locked away

Oh mother, we're stronger
From all of the tears you have shed
Oh mother, don't look back..."
