This month is ‘Domestic Violence Awareness Month’ and Jolly Soles have partnered with DV  Collective for the #SillySocksforaSafeHouse campaign.

DV Collective is a national domestic violence initiative, who works to ensure every victim of

domestic violence across Australia has access to the support they need to escape their unique situation and rebuild their lives. Jolly Soles has been working closely with Kylie Johanson, founder of DV Collective since mid-last year. Kylie’s own journey has been the driving force behind DV Collective.

The Silly Socks for a Safe House campaign help to raise money for essential items women and children need when entering a women’s refuge. It also assists in purchasing linen and bedding for the shelters themselves.



  • The DV Collective support over 120 domestic violence services, including shelters. Women
    are being turned away from shelters, every single day. There are just not enough beds,”
    Founder Kylie Johanson said.
    "Money raised from Silly Socks for a Safe House provide essential items such as toiletries,
    underwear, clothing, nappies… for women and children fleeing domestic violence but also
    provides essentials for the shelters. Bedding, linen and so much more.
    “The big goal is to build more shelters... but one step at a time. Every sock sold gets us
    closer to the bigger goal.
