domestic and family violence

Tracey Gaudry, CEO of Respect Victoria, says there is a powerful opportunity for leaders in the AFL and NRL to prevent family violence.

This speech was delivered by Jess Hill at the launch of the Criminalise Coercive Control Campaign, spearheaded by advocacy and legal groups.

The Morrison government has quietly slashed more than a million dollars of funding from its Respect Matters program in schools.

Prominent voices in the domestic and family violence space have formed a coalition to push for the criminalisation of coercive control.

After Tuesday night’s federal budget announcemnt, Senator Larissa Waters writes that the government is continuing to ignore women.

The Morrison Government has committed *zero* dollars of new funding for the specialist domestic violence services that so many rely on.

Five domestic and family violence survivor advocates have penned a joint letter to members of the government’s Expenditure Review Committee.

Beloved animals, such as dogs or cats, are often a lifeline for people experiencing domestic and family violence, writes Emma Hurst.

Coercive control is a pattern of dominating and controlling behaviour that essentially strips away the victim’s freedoms and sense of self.

The Women’s Safety Council, co-chaired by Senator Marise Payne and Senator Anne Rushton, decided no new measures will be taken at their last meeting.

It’s been six months since Hannah Clarke and her three children, Aaliyah, Laianah and Trey were brutally and violently murdered in Brisbane.

Women’s safety is not getting anything like the funding it needs, especially during this crisis. Let’s call on the Morrison Govt to do more.
