Taking action on violence against women – the journey so far

The Victorian Government is broadening its work on family violence and sexual assault reform to include preventing violence against women. A Right to Respect: Victoria’s Plan to Prevent Violence against Women 2010 –2020 builds on the Government’s significant investment in effective, integrated police, service and criminal justice responses to family violence and sexual assault.
