Our Watch has been established to drive nationwide change in the<br />
culture, behaviours and power imbalances that lead to violence against<br />
women and their children. In leading the development of this framework,<br />
we have drawn on the latest international research, and the expertise and<br />
practice wisdom of government and non-government stakeholders across<br />
the country, to frame a national approach to prevention. Our Watch will<br />
use this framework as a guide for our own work and our partnerships with<br />
other stakeholders. By working together we will create an Australia where<br />
all women and men, girls and boys, are treated equally, and respected<br />
and valued, in public and private life.<br />

ANROWS’s purpose is to build, translate and lead the uptake of evidence<br />
in work towards a significant and sustained reduction in violence against<br />
women and their children by 2022. As part of our inaugural Research<br />
Program, we were pleased to partner with Our Watch and VicHealth on the<br />
development of this framework that will guide work to overcome structural<br />
inequality and other enablers of violence against women and their children<br />
well into the future.<br />
Heather Nancarrow, CEO, ANROWS<br />
At VicHealth our primary focus is promoting good health and preventing<br />
chronic disease. We pinpoint and prevent the negative influences of ill<br />
health, and champion the positive influences on good health for all.<br />
Over the last decade we have worked with our partners, with government and<br />
with communities to advance the primary prevention of violence against<br />
women. Now we have all arrived at this critical moment in history – as a<br />
nation, we are poised to reduce the health and economic impact of violence<br />
and to realise women’s rights to safety and wellbeing once and for all.<br />
