What were with those orange balloons in Roma?
ORANGE balloons were tied to poles, signs and doors across the Roma CBD today to raise an important message.
For White Ribbon Day the ladies from Roma's Zonta Club gathered to help raise awareness about the silent issue affecting hundreds of women across the Maranoa.
The balloons are orange, the colour of the Zonta Says No To Domestic Violence campaign.
If you feel anxious or nervous around your partner or a victim of domestic abuse call 1800 010 020.
See Friday's Western Star for statistics on violent relationships in the region and the women looking to shine line on the issue that has remained in the dark for too long.
