Ending Coercive Control, Family & Domestic Violence [1]

[]

Date: 2024-05 

Take action on prevention, response & recovery to drive safer outcomes for women

Family, domestic, and intimate partner violence against women is a national crisis and it’s not slowing down.

A 2023 study found that 57% of FDV reports included coercive control behaviours. The same study found DV assaults have risen 13.5% in the last 5 years.

Over two days, the ‘Ending Coercive Control, Family & Domestic Violence Against Women’ conference brings together practitioners, experts, and advocates to educate and inspire attendees. It creates a genuine opportunity for collective education, awareness-building, and relationship-building.

Discussion on critical issues such as the criminalisation of coercive control, the status of legislation across states, pending changes in family law, prevention of, responses to, and recovery from coercive control will take centre stage in this thought-provoking, timely, and insightful event.

Immediate action is imperative to improve outcomes for women. Connect with peers at this event and be part of the drive for change.
