Book excerpt: The Commonwealth government commissioned a National Survey on Community Attitudes to Violence Against Women to establish a baseline of findings upon which to develop and measure future policies and interventions. The project was undertaken by VicHealth in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Criminology and the Social Research Centre. The findings were published in 2010 as National survey on community attitudes to violence against women 2009. This companion document provides more detailed information on the methodology and statistical results of the survey, which featured a general community survey of 10,000 people; an additional survey of 2,500 persons from five selected culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds; face-to-face surveys of 400 Indigenous Australians; and qualitative research with four selected CALD groups. The design and approach of the survey builds on the methodologies adopted in the last two major Australian surveys on violence against women: the 1995 national survey conducted by the Office for the Status of Women, and the 2006 Victorian Community Attitude Study.

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.

Book excerpt: "Violence against women undermines women's core fundamental rights such as dignity, access to justice and gender equality. For example, one in three women has experienced physical and/or sexual violence since the age of 15; one in five women has experienced stalking; every second woman has been confronted with one or more forms of sexual harassment. What emerges is a picture of extensive abuse that affects many women's lives but is systematically underreported to the authorities. The scale of violence against women is therefore not reflected by official data. This FRA survey is the first of its kind on violence against women across the 28 Member States of the European Union (EU). It is based on interviews with 42,000 women across the EU, who were asked about their experiences of physical, sexual and psychological violence, including incidents of intimate partner violence ('domestic violence'). The survey also included questions on stalking, sexual harassment, and the role played by new technologies in women's experiences of abuse. In addition, it asked about their experiences of violence in childhood. Based on the detailed findings, FRA suggests courses of action in different areas that are touched by violence against women and go beyond the narrow confines of criminal law, ranging from employment and health to the medium of new technologies."--Editor.

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.

This book was released on 2011-09-12 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violence against women and children is a serious public health concern, with costs at multiple levels of society. Although violence is a threat to everyone, women and children are particularly susceptible to victimization because they often have fewer rights or lack appropriate means of protection. In some societies certain types of violence are deemed socially or legally acceptable, thereby contributing further to the risk to women and children. In the past decade research has documented the growing magnitude of such violence, but gaps in the data still remain. Victims of violence of any type fear stigmatization or societal condemnation and thus often hesitate to report crimes. The issue is compounded by the fact that for women and children the perpetrators are often people they know and because some countries lack laws or regulations protecting victims. Some of the data that have been collected suggest that rates of violence against women range from 15 to 71 percent in some countries and that rates of violence against children top 80 percent. These data demonstrate that violence poses a high burden on global health and that violence against women and children is common and universal. Preventing Violence Against Women and Children focuses on these elements of the cycle as they relate to interrupting this transmission of violence. Intervention strategies include preventing violence before it starts as well as preventing recurrence, preventing adverse effects (such as trauma or the consequences of trauma), and preventing the spread of violence to the next generation or social level. Successful strategies consider the context of the violence, such as family, school, community, national, or regional settings, in order to determine the best programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative collection, leading thinkers in clinical medicine, sociology, epidemiology, kinesiology, education, and public policy reveal how health promotion is failing communities by failing women. Despite a longstanding consensus that social inequalities shape global patterns of illness and opportunities for health, mainstream health promotion frameworks continue to ignore gender at relational, household, community, and state levels. Exploring the ways in which gendered norms affect health and social equity for all human beings, Making It Better invites us to rethink conventional approaches to health promotion and to strive for transformative initiatives and policies. Offering practical tools and evidence-based strategies for moving from gender integration to gender transformation, this anthology is required reading for policymakers, health promotion and healthcare practitioners, researchers, community developers, and social service providers.
