Young Australians’ attitudes to violence against women and gender equality: Findings from the 2017 National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey (NCAS)

This report presents key findings from the 2017 National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey focusing on results for young Australians aged 16-24.

It also presents the reflections of young people on the findings. These were sought through a workshop held in Logan, Queensland, in 2018 involving five youth ambassadors from a diverse range of backgrounds. The ambassadors were associated with R4Respect (run by YFS), an education and prevention strategy led by young people in Logan and surrounds to promote the values, skills and knowledge needed for respectful relationships.

This report is one of a suite of sub-reports and resources produced by ANROWS that draws on data from the 2017 NCAS, all available on the NCAS microsite.
