Free from Violence Second Action Plan Launched

The Victorian Government and Respect Victoria’s Free from Violence Second Action Plan (2022-2025) was launched earlier this month. The Plan is clear in its message that primary prevention is essential to ending violence against women, and that prevention programs must respond to the complex factors that shape people’s experiences of gendered violence such as age, disability, ethnicity, faith and sexuality.
