Stop The Coward Punch

We are on a mission to eliminate the coward punch from our society and save lives in the process.

“If I can make even one person think before striking out, that’s a victory.”

We see it so many times. CCTV footage from a pub or nightclub showing the moment a punch is thrown and countless lives are changed forever.

Since 2000, well over one hundred lives have been lost in Australia from deadly blows to the head, and hundreds more victims injured. The coward punch leaves a devastating ripple through society, mentally and physically scarring family, friends and survivors for life.

We started the Coward Punch Campaign in 2012 to raise awareness of the devastating impact of this scourge in our society.

Since then I’ve been overwhelmed at the support we’ve received, with countless entertainers, athletes, community leaders, politicians and everyday Australians joining the fight to stop the coward punch.
