She still bears the scars of that attack, both emotionally and physically, but it has not stopped her from becoming an advocate for White Ribbon – a non-profit organisation who’s aim is to prevent men’s violence against women.
In September 2017, Angela, supported by her father and brother, took on White Ribbon Australia’s ‘Trek for Respect’, a gruelling 65 kilometre trek along the Larapinta Trail in the Northern Territory, to raise funds for White Ribbon.
