    Australians’ attitudes to violence against women and gender equality

    While Australians’ attitudes to violence against women and gender equality are improving, there are some concerning trends.

    Many people’s knowledge and attitudes to violence against women are out of step with the evidence, and with women’s experiences.

    It’s concerning that a substantial minority mistrust women’s reports of violence, and feel the problem of gender inequality is exaggerated. We need to do more to change these attitudes.

    Our attitudes to sexual consent are concerning. We need to focus on the abusive behaviour, not women’s choices.

    What is NCAS

    The periodic National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey, or NCAS, tells us how people understand violence against women, their attitudes towards it, what influences their attitudes, and if there has been a change over time. It also gauges attitudes to gender equality and people’s preparedness to intervene when witnessing violence or its precursors.

    🚨 RELEASED TODAY: Findings from our survey of 1,261 Australian victim-survivors of coercive control. We asked whether victim-survivors believed coercive control should be criminalised & what benefits they thought reform would have.

    “Who cares? The courage to create an economy for all”
    Incredible speech from Chair of @ANROWS @sammostyn on the importance of listening to women. #iwd

    Padma Raman speaking at @FutureWomen for #IWD on the need for true diversity in the workplace.

    'You Can't Pour from an Empty Cup' was conducted BY and FOR First Nations people. Engaging over 200 people, 8 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research teams, and using First Nations research methodologies, this new research sets the benchmark.

    New research by @ANROWS regarding the alarming conduct of removal of First Nations children.

    Had some very important yarns with @NITV @SBSNews about the importance of the Rights of our children.

    One too many taken, but not one too many that we can’t fix this crises!

    First Nations people have been left out of decision-making - with devastating consequences.

    Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander researchers and community members are calling for the urgent reprioritisation of funding.

    New research by @ANROWS @QATSICPP_2018 @ACU_ICPS found that current systems are causing lifelong harm to #FirstNations children impacted by #FamilyViolence. 8 ATSI community researchers developed this framework to heal their children. Incredible resource for all in this space.

    Child wellbeing must become a national policy priority so that First Nations kids & their families can get the help they need, in the ways that they need it. There are no shortcuts. This requires serious cross-portfolio & jurisdictional collaboration and commitment nationally. https://twitter.com/JennaPrice/status/1629969228559265794
