Extend the consultation for the next National Plan to end gender based violence
Update: The government announced today that the consultation would be extended to six weeks! We are still waiting to hear about access to the Consultation Reports, and so this petition remains open for you to sign.
Gender based violence is one of the most pressing issues in our nation today. It affects everyone in our society: all ages, families, workplaces and reaches everywhere in our lives.
The government have taken nine months to prepare the Draft National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children 2022-2032, a 10 year plan.
Yet the consultation period for experts, organisations and communities affected by violence to input in to the Plan is only two weeks long.
We need more time. Sign now to back the call for a six week consultation period.
