Name

Marg D'Arcy

Bio

My career was mainly working around the issue of violence against women, where I worked in policy, service provision and model development roles. My passion is to work to achieve the rights of women and girls to live free from the fear of violence, whether it is in the home, on the streets, state sanctioned or through media. Also concerned about social justice generally and particularly about the way we treat refugees. I am now retired and live on the Mornington Peninsula where I feel like I have discovered paradise and can’t believe it took me so long to move here.
