The facts on<br />
domestic violence<br />
• In 2015, 78 women died from violence<br />
with an estimated 80 percent of the deaths<br />
a result of domestic or family violence,<br />
according to the Counting Dead Women<br />
initiative run by ‘Destroy the Joint’.<br />
• Around one in five Australian women and<br />
one in 20 Australian men have experienced<br />
violence at the hands of an intimate partner<br />
(ABS, 2013).<br />
• Around 65 percent of men and women<br />
who have experienced current partner<br />
violence have experienced more than<br />
one incident; with women who have<br />
experienced violence by a previous partner<br />
more likely than men to have experienced<br />
more than one incident (73% compared<br />
with 51%; ABS, 2013).<br />
• Around half of men and one-quarter of<br />
women who have experienced current<br />
partner violence have never told anyone<br />
about the violence (ABS, 2013).<br />
• In 2011-12, 75 percent of intimate partner<br />
homicide victims were women (AIC, 2015)<br />
• Between 40 and 60 percent of families<br />
who present with partner violence also<br />
report child abuse.<br />
• In a 2014 Australian study, acts of physical<br />
abuse, sexual assault and verbal threats<br />
towards one’s partner or child were<br />
identified as family or domestic violence by<br />
over 96 percent of respondents (Anglicare<br />
WA, 2014).<br />
So what are<br />
we doing about it?<br />
The government has responded to domestic<br />
violence through preventative programs,<br />
support for victims/survivors and their families<br />
and law enforcement. Each jurisdiction in<br />
Australia has a variety of laws, programs<br />
and policies responding to and attempting<br />
to prevent domestic violence, including<br />
supported accommodation and safe houses.<br />

domestic violence, support is available from:<br />
