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.

RESEARCH REPORT

Attitudes matter: The 2021 National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey (NCAS), Technical report

This is the technical report for the 2021 National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey (NCAS).  

The NCAS is the world’s longest-running population-level survey of community attitudes towards violence against women. The NCAS tells us how people understand violence against women, their attitudes towards it, and if there has been a change over time. It also gauges attitudes to gender equality and people’s preparedness to intervene when witnessing abuse or disrespect towards women.

This technical report provides detailed information on the research design and methodology for the 2021 NCAS. The report will be useful for stakeholders who want to understand how the NCAS data was collected and analysed or who have specific questions about the methodology.

The technical report is one of a suite of ANROWS resources produced as part of the 2021 NCAS. Additional reports and documents can be found on the NCAS microsite.
