Let's change the story: Violence against women in Australia

Australia has a choice. We can change the story that currently sees a woman murdered every week by a current or former partner. We can choose a future where women and their children live free from violence.

​In a world first, Australia now has a framework for a consistent and integrated national approach to prevent violence against women and their children.

What our framework makes clear is that gender inequality is the core of the problem and it is the heart of the solution. Click here for the audio description version of the video.

An Australia free of violence against women and their children is an Australia where women are not only safe, but respected, valued and treated as equals in private and public life
