dc.description.notes"Australia was the first country to develop a comprehensive approach to prevention of violence against women, with the Australian Government establishing two new centres to support the implementation of this plan: Our Watch and Australia's National Research Organisation for Women's Safety (ANROWS). <br/ ><br/ >Progress is being monitored through a range of mechanisms including the Personal Safety<br/ >Survey, designed to monitor the experience of violence, and the National Community Attitudes towards Violence Against Women Survey, designed to gauge the extent of cultural support for violence and the factors underpinning it in the Australian community.<br/ ><br/ >In the development of the National Plan, two challenges were identified. The first of these was the need to strengthen commitment to the primary prevention of VAW. The second was ensuring that efforts in primary prevention are extended to meet the needs of specific sub-populations, including culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.<br/ ><br/ >Almost half of Australians were either born overseas or have at least one parent born overseas (ABS 2013a). We are a nation proud of our cultural diversity and have developed legislation and policies to ensure that all citizens are provided with equal opportunities, rights and entitlements. Among these is the right of women to live free from violence and the<br/ >fear of violence. Extending efforts to PVAW in CALD communities is critical to ensuring that this right is realised.<br/ ><br/ >This document summarises the outcomes of a project focusing on the primary prevention of VAW in CALD communities. Based on community consultation and research it identifies issues that need to be considered when working with CALD communities to PVAW and recommends<br/ >future actions for consideration. A copy of the full report which contains a full reference list, can be accessed on the AMES Australia website at:<br/ >http://www.ames.net.au/<br/ >Open accessen
