Book excerpt: Our Watch partnered with Australia's National Research Organisation for Women's Safety (ANROWS) and the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) to create Change the story: A shared framework for the primary prevention of violence against women and their children in Australia.The framework draws upon the latest international evidence and consultations with over 400 stakeholders across Australia to explore what drives violence against women and what works to prevent it. It demonstrates that, while violence against women has no single cause, it is strongly associated with particular dimensions of gender inequality, in both public life and personal relationships. It asserts that an Australia where women and their children live free from violence is an achievable long-term goal, but one that can only be realised by addressing the drivers of this violence, which are deeply entrenched in our social and cultural norms structures and practices, across our communities and in our daily lives.Change the story details the key elements required to create a strategic, collaborative and consistent national approach to preventing violence against women. The framework:* outlines 10 essential and supporting actions to prevent violence against women by addressing its gendered drivers and reinforcing factors* provides evidence-based guidance to government, the private sector, civil society and communities on how to lead, coordinate, resource and support effective prevention effort across Australia* aims to inform and support the development of policy and legislation, prevention programs, strategies and initiatives of all kinds, and advocacy.The framework demonstrates how, by working together, governments, organisations, communities and individuals can create a safer Australia built upon respect and equality.It offers a path towards this ultimate goal of social transformation, providing the necessary evidence, rationale and guidance to drive and support a significant and sustained nation-wide effort to prevent violence against women and their children.

Download or read book Gender Violence in Australia written by Alana Piper and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, the Australian federal government proclaimed that violence against women had become a national crisis. Despite widespread social and economic advances in the status of women since the 1970s, including growing awareness and action around gender violence, its prevalence remains alarming. A third of all women in Australia have been assaulted physically; a fifth of all women have been assaulted sexually. Intimate partner violence is significantly more prevalent in Australia than western Europe or North America. One woman each week is murdered by an intimate partner, and recent research suggests that nearly forty per cent of all women who suicide have a history of domestic or family violence. Domestic violence is a precipitating factor in a third of all homelessness. The resulting strain on government services and lost productivity means that family violence has been estimated as costing the Australian economy around 13.6 billion dollars a year. The histories presented in this collection indicate exactly where these violent behaviours come from and how they have been rationalised over time, offering an important resource for addressing what amounts to a widespread, persistent, and urgent social problem.

Download or read book Reducing Violence Against Women and Their Children written by TNS Australia and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 2015, COAG announced a national campaign to reduce violence against women and their children in Australia. The campaign will focus on primary prevention, specifically addressing the precursory attitudes of young people around respectful relationships and gender equality, and how adult role models can be engaged and mobilised. This report was commissioned to inform the development of the campaign. First, it investigates the attitudes and beliefs of young people aged 10-17 years olds and how these factors may lead to the perpetration of violence against women. Second, it examines the role of a primary prevention influencer strategy, including the challenges of engaging influencers, reconciling the perceived personal costs of involvement, reconciling the perpetuation of norms, and addressing heuristics such as automatic victim blaming and normalising male violence. This research draws on interviews with service providers and marketing professionals, as well as a survey of 1000 mainstream, CALD and Indigenous Australians aged from 10-25 years old.

Book excerpt: This paper highlights findings from the 2017 National Community Attitudes Survey Towards Violence Against Women (NCAS) survey. The survey aims to monitor people's understanding of, and attitudes towards, violence against women, including their attitudes towards gender equality, what influences their attitudes, and whether they are prepared to intervene when witnessing abuse or disrespect towards women. The 2017 survey was conducted with a representative sample of 17,500 Australians aged 16 years and over, and has been previously held in 1995, 2009, and 2013. Overall, most participants have accurate knowledge of violence against women and do not endorse this violence, and most support gender equality. However, a significant number believe that women make up sexual assault accusations to get back at men and that gender inequality is exaggerated or no longer a problem. The full findings are also available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, higher education in the UK has largely failed to recognise gender-based violence (GBV) on campus, but following the UK government task force set up in 2015, universities are becoming more aware of the issue. And recent cases in the media about the sexualised abuse of power in institutions such as universities, Parliament and Hollywood highlight the prevalence and damaging impact of GBV. In this book, academics and practitioners provide the first in-depth overview of research and practice in GBV in universities. They set out the international context of ideologies, politics and institutional structures that underlie responses to GBV in elsewhere in Europe, in the US, and in Australia, and consider the implications of implementing related policy and practice. Presenting examples of innovative British approaches to engagement with the issue, the book also considers UK, EU and UN legislation to give an international perspective, making it of direct use to discussions of ‘what works’ in preventing GBV.

Download or read book Young Australians Attitudes to Violence Against Women written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third National Community Attitudes Survey Towards Violence Against Women survey was held in Australia in 2013, with the main findings published in 2014. Over 17,500 young people and adults participated, regarding community knowledge of violence against women, attitudes towards violence against women, attitudes towards gender roles and relationships, and responses to witnessing violence. This new report focuses on the responses given by young participants aged between 16-22 years, and how these compare the attitudes of their parents' generation - survey participants aged 35-64 years old. The findings indicate that though young Australians have a good general understanding, they are less likely to recognise non-physical behaviours as violence against women or that a woman is more likely to be assaulted by a known person than by a stranger. Also, more than half of young people believe that a main cause of violence against women is men being unable to manage their anger. The report also notes changes in young people's attitudes since the previous survey in 2009 and considers how community education strategies can best reach this population group.
