Domestic Violence

It's time for things to change

In order to change public opinion, campaigns need to move beyond awareness raising and start addressing the perpetrators and causes of domestic violence

"Why isn’t this a national crisis?"

What we are taught as children inevitably shape the people we become. As a new campaign targeting violence against women asks us to question outdated behaviours, Australia's Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins writes a letter to her younger self as a reminder of the importance of equality and respect

“Domestic violence is a male issue and we need to own that”

“A reminder to all that really important issues are falling by the wayside”
