A major report on the prevention of violence against women and children has been released, almost six months after it was handed to government.


Highlights
  • On average a woman in Australia dies every nine days at the hands of their current or former partner.
  • Nearly 500 experts contributed to the “stakeholder consultation” report by Monash University, that will inform Australia's next National Plan to end violence against women and children.
  • The report also outlines the need for more targeted and specialised approaches to marginalised communities, including First Nations women and children, LGBTQI+ communities, migrant and refugee women, people with disabilities and rural and regional women.
