The Story of Anj Barker - Part 2

Kerry Kornhauser and Phil Cornish provided a report on a joint initiative between Welfare of the Young and the Family Violence Working Group late 2019.

Rotary Melbourne supported the work of Melbourne East Police teaching adolescents about respectful relationships. This initiative was called “LOVE BiTES”.

The LOVE BiTES program included a video about the plight of Anj Barker, a 16 year old who suffered horrendous, life threatening injuries from the hand of her “boy friend”. The video was made 15 years ago and over the years, many of the students asked: “What has happened to Anj?”

Via the Melbourne East Police and NAPCAN, a request was made to film a follow up video about Anj’s life. As Anj was a NAB employee, a request was made for NAB to assist with the financial support together with Rotary Melbourne. Kerry Kornhauser facilitated NAB to totally support the video and ROAR Digital, who produced the video.
