Aileen Mountifield, Founder of the Lisa Harnum Foundation receives the Elsie Award.
To celebrate 50 years of Women's refuges in Australia, women were honoured who have kept the refuge movement alive. These unsung heroes have kept refuges running, often with limited (or even no) funds have saved the lives of thousands of women and children.
The Elsie Awards has been given out to 50 recipients, one for each year since the founding of Elsie's Women's Refuge in 1974, to women nominated by our community.
