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/…

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

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 latrobe.edu.au/news/articles/…

'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. latrobe.edu.au/news/articles/…

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/…

Our previous work raised alternative drivers of #sexualviolence #sexualharassment and has set the national research agenda for sexual violence primary prevention tinyurl.com/yc4cuc52

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.

@trish_acullen and I are running co-design workshops 4 Australian researchers working sensitive topics as part of a project addressing vicarious trauma in research. Join a session to create change! #EMCRs & lived-experience researchers strongly encouraged. redcap.link/04qng3zo

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

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

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

.@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
