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. latrobe.edu.au/news/articles…
There are actions we take to stem the tide of domestic violence, say researchers Jess Hill & Michael Salter — starting with the industries that help to fuel a spark before it is lit. Join @jessradio, @ADanielOAM & Angela Taft @mike_salter from 5pm 👉 now.latrobe/IS-DV

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. Learn more about this timely project 👉 brnw.ch/21wLR9L

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. Access the report here: nsw.gov.au/sites/default/fil…

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 thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news…

.@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. #WHSMelbourne2024
