You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful."
Marie Curie

Enough is Enough

Background

Michael Marslew, an 18 year old University student, an innocent employee, was shot dead during the execution of an armed robbery. This single senseless act, horrible and unacceptable as it was, had a profound effect upon the boy's father.

Somehow through the devastation of the loss, Ken Marslew saw a serious community need that was not being addressed and Enough is Enough Anti-Violence Movement Inc was founded.

It has established itself upon the highest ideals of human behaviour, and in a positive and pro-active manner goes about the important business of reforming society's attitudes to violence, through greater understanding and education.

Please read an interview with Ken Marslew "Bravery is always in fashion be".


The definition of Enough is Enough

- A long term antiviolence project based on personal responsibility and reform by education

Long term - we have not arrived where we are in society overnight and just like any commonsense business plan or project, we have in place short, medium and long term strategies to deal with the issues.

Personal responsibility - many blame others for the world we live in when in fact, we are all responsible for the world we live in. At no time in history has it been more important for individuals to accept responsibility for their actions (or lack of actions).

Education - information is the key to developing strategies that are capable of changing opinions and attitudes of individuals and societies to produce positive outcomes.
