Post 7. 16 days of activism. A profound toll

'You may have heard' some mates say that violence against women is not as bad as the media reports it - and perhaps even worse - that women are partly to blame.

However, we say, we believe the research.*

The research shows that violence against women is a nationwide scourge, and it produces a profound, long-term toll on victims' and survivors' health and well-being, plus on their families and communities and on our broader society (NCAS). It is important to educate yourself and those around you on the causes and impacts of gender-based violence, and the social attitudes that support violence.
