The National Plan provides the foundation for a whole-of-society approach to end gender-based violence in one generation. It sets the direction for the next 10 years.
This National Plan is our collective commitment to a country free of gender-based violence – where all people live free from fear and violence and are safe at home, at work, at school, in the community and online. Living free of violence is a fundamental human right. Violence against women and children is not inevitable. We know what drives it – gender inequality and other intersecting forms of discrimination and inequality.
To stop this violence before it starts, we must advance gender equality and address other forms of discrimination in every part of society.
The National Plan is the culmination of over two years of extensive consultation with victim-survivors, advocacy groups, frontline services, families, domestic and sexual violence organisations, research and data experts and the public to address our national emergency to reduce gender-based violence.
