Our Vision
To build a future with zero tolerance of domestic abuse and coercive control.
Our Strategy
To prevent and address the complex societal problem of domestic abuse and coercive control we must act across multiple levels simultaneously. To date, responses to domestic abuse and resources have focused predominantly on the protection of victims.
We cannot change attitudes, social norms and domestic abuse-supportive beliefs without primary prevention measures targeting public awareness, providing community education, continuous professional development training for frontline professionals, and supporting research in the field.
Our strategic priorities include:
- Preventing domestic abuse and coercive control by changing the attitudes and beliefs that drive domestic abuse supportive behaviours
- Public education and training frontline professionals
- Supporting research and sharing knowledge and resources
- Collaborating with partners to identify key actions that must be taken to close the gaps in the response to domestic, sexual and gender-based abuse
As part of our strategy, we collaborate with other organisations.
