Preventing violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and their children: additional future work In developing Change the story, we particularly acknowledge the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders: women and men who provided diverse expertise, experience and knowledge to help inform this work, especially in areas where research specific to their communities is lacking. While prevalence rates vary for many groups of women, the differential impact of violence on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in particular is striking. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women experience violence at around twice the rate of non-Indigenous women, 2 and are 34 times more likely to be hospitalised due to family violence related assaults than other Australian women. 3 Such violence must be considered in the context of broader colonial violence and specifically the intergenerational impacts of dispossession, the forced removal of children, the interruption of cultural practices that mitigate against interpersonal violence, and the ongoing and cumulative economic exclusion and disadvantage experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These impacts include intergenerational trauma, lateral violence and internalised colonialism (see Glossary on page 62). A national framework designed for relevance across the diverse Australian population must acknowledge and take into account this specific reality, but it cannot do it justice. Further consideration of how to most effectively prevent violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and their children is imperative, and requires a separate, dedicated effort, one that is guided by a participatory process where the voices, experiences, ideas and solutions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people themselves are central. Following the release of Change the story, Our Watch, together with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, will develop a dedicated resource to guide the prevention of violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and their children, to be released as a companion document to this framework. For more detail on this planned additional resource, see Framework foundations 2, Section 4.5. 8
