Our Watch welcomes the partnership with DonorAid who share our vision of an Australian community free from violence against women and their children.
Australia has a choice. We can change the story that currently sees a woman murdered every week by a current or former partner. We can choose a future where women and their children live free from violence.
In a world first, Australia now has a framework for a consistent and integrated national approach to prevent violence against women and their children.
What our framework makes clear is that gender inequality is the core of the problem and it is the heart of the solution.
An Australia free of violence against women and their children is an Australia where women are not only safe, but respected, valued and treated as equals in private and public life.
Our Watch has been established to drive nationwide change in the culture, behaviours and power imbalances that lead to violence against women and their children.
Our vision is an Australia where women and their children live free from all forms of violence.
Our mandate is to stop violence before it happens.
Our purpose is to provide national leadership to prevent all forms of violence against women and their children.
Our work will always be based on sound research and strong and diverse partnerships.
Our beliefs and attitudes are shaped by many influences and can be held without conscious thought. When we unpack the building blocks of our attitudes we can identify certain myths or false truths upon which our attitudes are based.
Some myths can lead people to minimise or excuse violent behaviour.
We can identify these commonly held but prejudicial myths and constructively question their influence on our attitudes, behaviours and our relationships.
Prejudicial myths are dangerous because they influence how we think and feel about violence against women and their children.
These beliefs and attitudes then influence how we act when confronted with violent behaviour or how we respond when we hear about violence.
