VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

Why is Violence Against Women a priority issue?

Violence against women, domestic or family violence and intimate partner violence are all ways of talking about gender based violence.

The term gender based violence encompasses a range of abuses that result in, or are likely to result in physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, whether they occur in public or private life (United Nations, 1993). Research has established that rather than being a few isolated acts, violence against women is a pattern of behaviour that violates the human rights of women and girls, limits their participation in society and damages their health and well-being (García-Moreno et al., 2013).

The cost of violence against women to individuals, communities and the whole of society is staggering and unacceptable.

Gender based violence is prevalent, serious and preventable; it is also a crime.

Publisher: Australia. Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, 2011

Status – CURRENT

The Plan brings together the efforts of governments across the nation to make a real and sustained reduction in the levels of violence against women. This plan shows Australia’s commitment to upholding the human rights of Australian women and it is the first plan to coordinate action across jurisdictions. The Plan focuses on preventing violence by raising awareness and building respectful relationships in the next generation. The aim is to bring attitudinal and behavioural change at the cultural, institutional and individual levels, with a particular focus on young people. The National Plan has been built from an evidence base of new research and extensive consultation with experts and the community.  It sets out a framework for action over the next 12 years.  By working together and challenging the attitudes and behaviours that allow violence to occur, all Australian governments are saying a very loud ‘no’ to violence.

Counting on care work in Australia

Status – CURRENT

Women are bearing the bulk of the care load – both paid and unpaid – and it is having a significant negative impact on their incomes and retirement savings. Unpaid care work restricts the capacity of carers to earn a living in general and to save for retirement in particular. Most paid care work is undervalued and underpaid and restricts the capacity of the worker to earn a decent living or save for retirement.

Partner Violence and the Health of Australian Women

Publisher: Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health, 2005

Status – CURRENT

The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health (ALSWH) has added significantly to our understanding of the effects of partner violence. Partner violence has a serious impact on women’s physical and mental health, including increased symptoms and  medical conditions, such as sexually transmitted infections (including cervical cancer) and depressive illness. Not surprisingly, women who have lived in violent relationships use health services more often than other women, and are especially more likely than others to visit their GPs. Other life experiences can help or hinder the health and wellbeing of women who have experienced partner violence. For example, women with high social support are healthier than those without.

Australian women with disability are 37.3% more at risk of domestic and family violence. In NSW, over 43% of women experiencing personal violence have disability or a long-term illness, meaning that they experience violence at twice the rate of other women.

This report outlines a project that sought to create safe spaces for older women to talk about sexual assault. The project explored whether broadening the focus from ‘sexual assault’ to ‘sexual wellbeing and safety’ would successfully engage older women. It aims to educate service providers and policy makers to develop policies and services for older women in this area.

Responding to Child to Parent Violence

Publisher: Responding to Child to Parent Violence 2015

Status – CURRENT

Child to Parent Violence (CPV) is the most hidden, misunderstood and stigmatised form of family violence. It involves teenage and younger girls and boys who use physical, psychological, emotional and financial abuse over time to the extent that parents/carers live in fear of their child. The project adopted an action research methodology motivated to understand practice and policy in relation to CPV in each partner country (Spain, Bulgaria, England and Sweden) and to learn how to improve both by reflecting on the changes made through project actions. The project aimed to raise awareness of child to parent violence, find out how countries across Europe deal with it and provide resources including films and toolkits for practitioners who work with young people and parents experiencing this problem. The project has raised awareness of two CPV intervention models currently in use – in particular Break4Change (Brighton & Hove City Council) and Non Violent Resistance (National University of Ireland, Galway) – and investigated how these models could be used effectively in other countries.

Keep Your Boat Afloat

Publisher: Women’s Health Goulburn North East, 2013

Status – CURRENT

WHGNE has operated a domestic violence specific No Interest Loans (NILS) program since 2007. As a result of this work we recognised that there was a need for resources identifying financial abuse as a form of family violence. Women who were separating from a partner were missing out on services available to them because they were not aware that the financial abuse they had experienced in their past relationship was in fact, family violence. We would regularly hear from women “He controlled all the money. I had nothing to spend on myself or the kids. But he never hit me. That’s not domestic violence is it?” The Federal Government’s National Plan of action to reduce violence against women and their children argues that because financial dependence is a major factor influencing a woman’s decision to remain with an abusive partner, and family violence is also often associated with poverty and homelessness; therefore financial independence and security are essential for leaving and staying away from an abusive partner.
