The sound of silence can speak volumes

Silence can speak volumes.

And on Monday night in Melbourne, at a vigil for Eurydice Dixon, it did just that.

One week, here on the Informer, we recount how communities, on and offline, have been managing the changing narrative and what that tone means for where we go next, as we try to create a safer and more equal society for all.

If you feel distressed by any part of this story, or have any personal concerns on LGBTIQA+ issues, please contact the team at QLife on 1800 184 527 or for web counselling at Qlife.org.au.

Or you can contact beyondblue on 1300 22 46 36 and at beyondblue.org.au.

Thank you for being silent with us.
