The success of a campaign led by local Indigenous women in having a ban placed on the sale of full strength alcohol in the remote Western Australian Community of Fitzroy Valley is documented in this DVD .The campaign was initiated in response to high levels of family violence and alcohol abuse in the community.
This community-led ban on full strength alcohol has resulted in a 43% reduction in domestic violence reports, a 55% reduction in alcohol related hospital presentations, an increase in school attendance levels and an 88% reduction in the amount of alcohol purchased.
