Six practical reforms for safety, evidence and institutional accountability.
A government plan to end domestic violence can count services, programs and reports. The more important question is what its interventions produced:
- Did people become safer?
- Was repeat harm reduced?
- Were children protected?
- Did institutions remain accountable for the consequences of their decisions?
These questions are not abstract. The stakes are life and death. The next Action Plan must respond seriously to gendered and potentially lethal violence against women and children. It must also recognise forms of family violence that do not conform neatly to dominant gender patterns and test whether institutional interventions actually improve safety for every person. Repeating activity is not the same as improving outcomes.
The Relational Justice Project has lodged six practical reforms with the consultation on Australia’s Second Action Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children.
