Research

Our research

Violence against women and children affects everybody. It impacts on the health, wellbeing and safety of a significant proportion of Australians throughout all states and territories and places an enormous burden on the nation’s economy across family and community services, health and hospitals, income-support and criminal justice systems.

ANROWS

About ANROWS

ANROWS was established by the Commonwealth and all state and territory governments of Australia to produce, disseminate and assist in applying evidence for policy and practice addressing violence against women and their children.

KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER

Resources

To support the take-up of evidence, ANROWS offers a range of resources developed from research to support practitioners and policy-makers in delivering evidence-based interventions.

Core research

Since the first National Plan was implemented, ANROWS has been building the evidence base for what is effective in identifying, and responding to, violence against women and children.

We know that there are still areas where systems do not work effectively for victims and survivors, particularly those that experience multiple forms of disadvantage.

Our research under the 2020–2022 ANROWS Core Grant Research Program spanned domestic, family and sexual violence and recognised the diversity of women’s experiences in order to provide guidance to policymakers and practitioners on better ways forward.
