The Family Safety Framework seeks to ensure that services to families most at risk of violence are provided in a more structured and systematic way. This is done through agencies sharing information about these families and sharing responsibility to support these families. VAW Collaborations are multi-agency partnerships which will identify and develop regional strategies to respond to and prevent violence against women.
The Collaborations will build community capacity to prevent and reduce the incidence of violence against women in local regions by working to create cultural and attitudinal change within the community that addresses the underlying causes of this violence.
The Violence Against Women Collaborations aim to increase sector capacity to provide integrated responses to women and children experiencing violence, including those women who are homeless as a result of violence. Every region across South Australia has its own unique strengths and challenges and regions will determine the agencies involved which may include but are not limited to:.
VAW Collaborations bring together service providers to develop strategic regional responses including:. Each region will have ownership of their local VAW Collaboration and determine the governance arrangements chair and executive support within the group.
The Department for Communities and Social Inclusion will provide the framework and templates for VAW Collaborations and will participate as partners in regional groups.
Regional VAW Collaborations will provide six-monthly reporting. The information will enhance government knowledge and help to shape future policy direction to prevent violence against women in South Australia. The white ribbon is worn on the day to represent support for the elimination of violence against women. Men can take a stand by swearing the White Ribbon Oath and saying no to violence against women.
White Ribbon Day is celebrated across Australia with official events, community events and fundraisers, as well as marches in capital cities.
Workplaces have been identified as key environments in which to undertake preventative action to reduce violence against women and to support women who are experiencing or escaping violence.
Workplaces can play an effective and important role in supporting women to remain safe, stay in work and to access specialist support services.
Violence against women can have significant impacts on the workplace. Workplaces can be used as places for perpetrators to harass women and to locate their whereabouts. The perpetrator may also harass colleagues of victims. It can affect an employee's work performance, cause poor physical and mental well-being, lead to time off work and in some cases can result in termination of employment. Workplaces can be ideal places for promoting the prevention of violence against women. Organisations are recognised in both of these strategies as settings through which social norms that support violence against women can be challenged, shaped and changed.
From 1 July employees of the South Australian public sector are entitled to 15 days domestic violence leave. This additional special leave with pay allows people experiencing domestic violence to take time off work to address issues that may assist them in progressing towards a life free from violence and its effects.
Entitlements such as those provided to South Australian public servants ensure that victims of domestic violence remain financially secure and have time to attend court appearances, seek legal advice or make arrangements to move house. The Project seeks to inform Australian unions and employers about domestic violence issues for employees and to promote the introduction of domestic violence provisions in enterprise agreements using the new Fair Work framework.
The White Ribbon Campaign in Australia is the national violence prevention campaign supported by individuals and organisations concerned with raising awareness about and ending violence against women. The White Ribbon Workplace Program aims to support workplaces to prevent and respond to violence against women. The Program calls upon organisations to take steps to promote safe workplaces for women by adapting organisational culture, practices and procedures. Information about the program is available on the White Ribbon website.

Community Education Community Education 'Break the Cycle' Break the Cycle is a South Australian Government campaign, funded through the National Partnership on COVID Domestic and Family Violence Responses, which aims to challenge abusive behaviours, increase awareness of services available to men and women, and empower bystanders to intervene, and to help break the cycle of domestic abuse. Our Watch's focus is on four key areas: maintaining constructive public conversations; delivering evidence-based prevention programs; working with existing organisations, networks and communities to embed prevention practices; and influencing public policy and institutions.

In fact, some were even opposed to moving forward on such important issues, such as Holy See the Vatican , Nicaragua, Sudan and Libya and sometimes Iraq and various other nations on particular issues such as reproductive rights, even freedom of expression Libya and the Vatican opposed this.
The Vatican, Iran and some other delegations even wanted to delete references to sexual and reproductive rights and health in the Current Challenges section of the review document. Regarding the Vatican the Holy See , there was growing concern at their role as permanent observer, where they are considered to be more than a non-governmental organization NGO , but less than a nation.
They therefore have some influence and have been criticized at the way they have affected some UN decisions regarding gender-related issues to be more effectively pushed forward. Technically, this was the 54th session of the U. Commission on the Status of Women CSW to report on global efforts toward democracy and human development through the empowerment of women. Inter Press Service IPS reported on the conference suggesting mixed feelings on the outcome; while there was improved understanding on some issues, there were still a number of political uncertainties on questions such as whether or not there would be any.
It is often argued—and accepted—that women, being the gentler sex , and typically being the main care givers in society, are less aggressive than men. Feminists often argue that women, if given appropriate and full rights, could counter-balance a male-dominated world which is characterized by aggression in attitudes, thoughts, society and, ultimately, war. For feminists and others, what was also shocking was that some of these acts were being perpetrated by women in the U.
Secretly, I hoped that the presence of women [in the U. A certain kind of feminism, or perhaps I should say a certain kind of feminist naivete, died in Abu Ghraib [the prison facility from where most of the torture pictures and footage originated]. It was a feminism that saw men as the perpetual perpetrators, women as the perpetual victims and male sexual violence against women as the root of all injustice.
Rape has repeatedly been an instrument of war and, to some feminists, it was beginning to look as if war was an extension of rape. There seemed to be at least some evidence that male sexual sadism was connected to our species' tragic propensity for violence. That was before we had seen female sexual sadism in action. After all, women do most of the caring work in our culture, and in polls are consistently less inclined toward war than men.
Women do not change institutions simply by assimilating into them, only by consciously deciding to fight for change. We need a feminism that teaches a woman to say no—not just to the date rapist or overly insistent boyfriend but, when necessary, to the military or corporate hierarchy within which she finds herself.
Towards the end of the article, Ehrenreich notes that gender equality often appears to be limited to allowing women to have equality in a male-dominated world, meaning women struggle to have rights to do what men do. But, if what men are doing is generally seen as negative, then gender equality in that context is not enough.
As she ends:. To cite an old, and far from naive, feminist saying: If you think equality is the goal, your standards are too low. It is not enough to be equal to men, when the men are acting like beasts. It is not enough to assimilate. We need to create a world worth assimilating into.
