  1. Process • Plan itself • Where to from here

  2. Why violence against women? • 57% of women experience violence since age 16 • Sexual violence against young women is higher • Leading contributor to women’s ill-health, death • Women overwhelmingly the victims, men are majority of perpetrators of intimate partner and sexual violence • Women more likely to be injured, to require medical attention and to fear for their lives as a result of this violence (compared with men)

  3. Work since 2005: • Family Violence reforms • Sexual Assault reforms • Indigenous Family Violence 10-yr Plan • Result: • Integrated response • More accountability • More reporting • But perpetration still high and constant

  4. So govt (FV Ministers, PS + advisory committees) decided to move into primary prevention of VAW • In 2006 commissioned VicHealth to review the evidence and produce a conceptual framework for policy making

  5. VicHealth Framework 2007Preventing Violence Before It Occurs • Addresses underlying causes/key determinants of VAW (gender inequality, gender stereotypes) • Aims to create broad change by working at many levels: individual, community, organisational and society (ecological approach)

  6. Across settings – education key • Population groups • Short, mid and long-term outcomes

  7. Based on recommendations from VicHealth Framework, 2009/09 state budget announced: • $200,000 for the development of a State Plan, based on the VicHealth framework • $300,000 for ‘piloting’ of good practice schools-based work to prevent VAW (to start where evidence was strongest)

  8. Schools project • VicHealth commissioned to scope existing work + identify models of good practice • 1st stage complete July 08, 2nd early 09 • Identified lots of good programs, some excellent ‘embedded’ programs, but what was missing was the ‘scaffolding’ to embed more broadly

  9. Plan development Across 5 key settings: • Education and training • Local govt, Health and Community Services • Workplaces • Sport and Recreation • Media, Arts and Popular Culture

  10. Governance • Whole-of-govt IDC • Getting shared understanding and ownership across govt a priority • Plus existing structures

  11. Evidence • ‘Drilling down’ from VicHealth framework • Surveys re existing practice • Research in every setting + CALD and disability • Separate Indigenous process for prevention, through IFVPF

  12. Consultation • Policy advisory groups • Settings-based Working Groups • ‘Population-based’ reference groups

  13. Result • Identified ‘patchwork of good practice’ (lots VicHealth funded) • Role of govt to support, build on, embed and ensure sustainability • Far more info than we could get in the Plan (but will use!)

  14. Vision • Victorian communities, cultures and organisations are non-violent and gender equitable. Relationships are respectful and non-discriminatory.

  15. Goals 1. A significant reduction in violence against women. 2. Non-violent and non-discriminatory social norms. 3. Gender-equitable, safe and inclusive communities and organisations. 4. Equal and respectful relationships between women and men.

  16. Strategies 1. Establish partnerships across government and non-government agencies and accountable leadership structures for sustainable prevention. 2. Strengthen community leadership to drive change. 3. Build capacity and tools for organisational change and workforce development. 4. Implement multiphase communications campaigns and programs, engage champions and undertake media advocacy to promote equity and non-violence. 5. Develop and strengthen systems and programs that build respectful relationships skills and influence social norms, attitudes and behaviours. 6. Research, evaluate and monitor policy and programs for continuous improvement. 7. Improve policy, regulation and legislation to embed prevention of violence and gender equity.

  17. Approach • Across settings • Statewide and place-based • A staged process: establish, expand, embed • With and for everyone

  18. Where to from here? • Budget • Steering structures – 1st implementation plan • Advocacy + partnerships • Building on existing work
