| dc.description.notes | General Overview: This Victorian document summarises the key findings of the Violence Against Women Community Attitudes Project supported by the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth)<br/ ><br/ >Objective: It aims to inform future work on preventing violence against women by improving the understanding of the role of community attitudes. The focus is on community attitudes toward interpersonal forms of gender based violence (domestic violence, sexual harassment, sexual assault and stalking) as they affect women.<br/ ><br/ >Methods: Research and findings from several sub-components making up this project including a literature review, are pulled together. A survey of a random sample of 2,000 people in Victoria and a booster sample of 800 people from selected culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds is conducted. Findings from the 2006 random sample are compared with the results from the 1995 survey conducted by the then Federal Office of the Status of Women.<br/ ><br/ >* Beliefs about the victim, community and systemic responses;<br/ >Results: It finds specific areas as requiring attention, including information on:<br/ >* Women's increased vulnerability to violence during separation and their need for assistance, given almost half of all Victorians surveyed believed women falsify claims of domestic violence to gain an advantage in child custody cases. Social service, law and criminal justice personnel are important target groups for this information;<br/ >* The gendered dynamics of violence, the differential impacts of violence for men and women, and the distinctions between domestic violence and non-violent relationship conflict since many believed that domestic violence is perpetrated equally by men and women;<br/ >Specific populations (boys and young men, CALD communities with a focus on CALD men and those who recently arrived, and Indigenous communities) require to be targeted for future work. Priority settings requiring targeting include: organisations and cultures with young men such as university colleges, workplaces, youth clubs, military institutions, sporting clubs; faith-based institutions with religious leaders; and the criminal justice, health and social service systems.<br/ ><br/ >Conclusions: There have been improvements on most measures since 1995. However, findings suggest the need for an integrated range of strategies with the public health approach as a useful framework. It suggests that violence takes place in a particular social context such as the link between violent-supportive attitudes and attitudes toward gender roles and gender equality, as well as the role of broader social policy initiatives. | en |
