Alcohol contributes to an 50.3% of all partner violence in Australia & 73% of physical assaults by a partner.

@Capraustralia researchers are urging @VicGovAu to ensure that changes to the Liquor Act comprehensively address alcohol-related family violence. https://t.co/YKWyiPyeJf

With 1 in 5 women and 1 in 16 men experiencing sexual violence by age 15, a La Trobe-led initiative that aims to identify the most effective prevention programs couldn't come at a more critical time.

It’s essential we go upstream to find out how we can prevent #sexualviolence in Australia. This new funding is a good start #primaryprevention #GBV https://t.co/1LNiQVoGWP

'Once this work is complete, we'll have a better evidence base about what works in relation to preventing sexual violence.'

A La Trobe team have received $7.45m to lead a new project to identify the most effective sexual violence prevention programs. https://t.co/OZXQPagOKG

Important report released today by the NSW Coroner. The investigative review includes 550 domestic violence related homicides. Of these cases:

🚩 56% were intimate partner homicides
🚩 in 80% of DV-related homicides husbands, boyfriends, & male exes were the killers,
🚩 most male killers deployed at least 3 types of abuse against women - physical, social, economic, stalking & sexual violence,
🚩 almost two-thirds of the 244 partner homicides involved a man killing his female partner in the context of relationship separation.

When women kill, they almost always kill their abuser.

Our previous work raised alternative drivers of #sexualviolence #sexualharassment and has set the national research agenda for sexual violence primary prevention https://t.co/VDYSy7J8b9

[Leesa Hooker @leesahoo]

Thankyou to @KZiwica @mike_salter @catgiorgi for raising the issue of alternative drivers to #GBV #sexualviolence in this country. Alcohol reform and interventions to prevent sexual violence is “low hanging fruit” that could make a significant impact on prevention.

“This literally has as the endpoint the lives of women and children. It is a critical conversation.” Experts are raising concerns about the basis & effectiveness of the strategy to prevent #VAW & the way Our Watch has led this work. Me in @SatPaper today https://t.co/4MPN31U8Kf

Final session on Day 1. #worldhealthsummit
Looking forward to @_CEVAW discussions on pacific priorities for prevention of #VAW #GBV #WHSMelbourne2024

[Leesa Hooker @leesahoo]

@Jane_Fisher1 “There will be no health equity for women without gender equity” #GBV #WHSMelbourne2024

[Leesa Hooker @leesahoo]

The pacific has the highest rates of #sexualandGBV in the world. Yet health services are not prepared to address it. #WHSMelbourne2024

[VicHealth @VicHealth]

.@IlonaKickbusch noted that 60% of australians do not trust the government, commercial entities or the media - that's really alarming, and leaves a large gap for bad faith actors to insert themselves in.
