The Govt Has Launched A Bold Plan To End Violence Against Women Children Within A Generation

A new national plan for ending family violence within one generation has been released by the Federal Government which focuses on helping men in Australia to develop “healthy masculinities” alongside other reforms. The National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children calls for a change in how all parts of society — including offenders, the media, workplaces, schools, online communities and governments — act, with an aim to end family violence in the next 10 years. Per the outline of the plan, it will target action across four areas:

1. Prevention — working to change the underlying social drivers of violence by addressing the attitudes and systems that drive violence against women and children to stop it before it starts.
2. Early intervention — identifying and supporting individuals who are at high risk of experiencing or perpetrating violence and prevent it from reoccurring.
3. Response — providing services and supports to address existing violence and support victim-survivors experiencing violence, such as crisis support and police intervention, and a trauma-informed justice system that will hold people who use violence to account.
4. Recovery and healing — helping to reduce the risk of re-traumatisation, and supporting victim-survivors to be safe and healthy to be able to recover from trauma and the physical, mental, emotional, and economic impacts of violence.
