End Violence Against Women In All Forms

One woman is killed each week by an intimate partner

Domestic violence (DV) is a global public health problem of epidemic proportions and has resulted in a call for “urgent action”, by the World Health Organisation. The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals - a worldwide call to action on various social impact fronts - lists domestic violence as one key target in improving gender equality and safety.

Despite the unacceptable statistics, Australia’s laws and support services are relatively advanced when compared to other nations globally though we need to do better, both in Australia and abroad. Domestic violence in Australia and globally is not limited by gender, however, as a “key area of focus” Bravember has chosen to support efforts that primarily reduce “male violence against women” (MVAW).
