Start by getting welfare above the poverty line and keeping it there. Then there’s a small matter of about 40 years worth of public housing that needs building.
Both anchor women to lethally dangerous situations and are both creating pressures that increase the rates of domestic violence in the first place.
Higher welfare and public housing will help. Otherwise where else will people go? They’re trapped
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The federal government aims to reduce the number of women killed by their intimate partners by 25 per cent each year, under a five-year plan launched by Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth today.
The government has set the homicide reduction target as part of its five-year First Action Plan, in a bid to end gender-based violence within a generation.
Ms Rishworth told the ABC the government would rely on Australian Institute of Criminology data for its baseline and to track its progress on the target.
The government said the plan for Indigenous communities was aligned with Closing the Gap targets, which seek to halve the rate of all forms of family violence and abuse against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children by 2031.
The plan flags providing services in prisons for Indigenous people who are both victims and perpetrators of family and sexual violence, including children, and establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men’s advisory body.
Linda Burney, the minister for Indigenous Australians, said it was designed to address the disproportionately high rates of violence First Nations women and children experience, and recognise the unique challenges and barriers they face when seeking help.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I would hope the “aim” is to reduce by 100% but I understand the government is putting forward what they see as a realistic outcome of their program which is pretty sad.
Just read a bit odd when I was scrolling through.
