| Abstract: |
|
The Pathways to Prevention strategy outlines the NSW Government’s plan for primary prevention of domestic, family, and sexual violence over the period of 2024 to 2028. It emphasises the importance of gender equality, Aboriginal self-determination, and evidence-based approaches. The strategy sets out three key priorities: progressing prevention in priority settings (such as communities, schools, workplaces, and sports clubs), supporting Aboriginal-led prevention efforts, and building centralised supports and the evidence base for long-term prevention work. With a public health approach, the strategy aims to reduce violence by addressing its root causes through widespread, collaborative efforts across multiple sectors.
