From July 2024, coercive control is a criminal offence in NSW. That means it is illegal for a person to use abusive behaviours towards a current or former intimate partner with the intention to coerce or control them.

The Governor, Patron of Challenge DV, hosted a Reception at Government House in support of Darkness to Daylight 2024 and to thank @Challenge_DV supporters and frontline workers. #DarknessToDaylight

[Challenge DV @Challenge_DV]

#DarknessToDaylight 2024 was an unforgettable experience, bringing together over 2,700 members of our community.

By running, walking, talking, and standing together, we are bringing domestic and family violence out of the darkness and into the daylight.

Thank you.

@DjirraVIC welcomes the growing recognition across the country of the need to do more about serial perpetrators of family & sexual violence against our women. This is a significant issue for the Aboriginal women @DjirraVIC supports 1/7

Did you know all employees in Australia can access 10 days of paid domestic and family violence leave in a 12-month period?

The way we speak about violence matters.

The language we use can reinforce the attitudes and beliefs that drive violence against women, or it can challenge them.

[Kate Fitz-Gibbon @Kate_FitzGibbon]

Yesterday I joined @RNDrive to discuss our new research examining 235 sentencing judgments of men convicted for killing their female intimate partners.

We discussed the findings, including that 65% of offenders had a prior criminal conviction & more than a third had a prior conviction for domestic violence.

Aboriginal women have been invisible for too long. We have not been silent, but we HAVE been silenced. Under Closing the Gap Agreement Target 13, Cwth & State govts committed to reducing family violence against First Nations women & children by at least 50% by 2031 #NRW2024 1/4
