Family Violence and Gender Equity

We know that family violence occurs in all communities, including our own – but it isn’t always easy to talk about, or to know what to do when it happens.

We also know that we, as a community, can work together to prevent it.

Our family violence resource program focuses on supporting the capacity of our community to recognise, respond to, and prevent family violence. Through a range of education, resource and community action initiatives, we work to:

• Encourage conversations about gender equality and violence prevention
• Support relationships that are equal, safe and healthy
• Build capacity to understand, recognise and respond to family violence
• Increase community dialogue about violence and its impacts
• Challenge stigma and misinformation
• Encourage safe and appropriate help-seeking
• Support services to deliver culturally safe support to Jewish community members affected by family violence.
