Tell the govt: fully fund women’s safety

Domestic and family violence services, sexual violence services, women's legal services - all play a vital role in supporting women's safety and wellbeing.

But right now government priorities and funding decisions mean that services aren't resourced to assist everyone that needs them. Every day violence services aren't fully funded is another day women are left in danger.

Government representatives talk about how we all have a part to play in addressing violence. But making sure frontline services are resourced to support everyone who needs them is squarely the responsibility of governments. 

Join us in calling on all government to make women’s safety a non-negotiable at the heart of their budgets.


If you or someone you know is affected by sexual or domestic or family abuse, you can access support from Full Stop Australia's National Violence and Abuse Trauma Counselling and Recovery Service by calling 1800 385 578 or at fullstop.org.au. If you are in danger, call 000. The Men's Referral Service is available on 1300 766 491 for men, or friends and family of men using violence.

 

More information

There are gaping holes in the safety net that should be in place for women affected by sexual, domestic and family violence. Funding is urgently needed across every part of the system. 

Join the campaign to show the Albanese Government we want women’s safety to be at the core of their budgets; and we want these services fully funded.

To Federal, State and Territory Governments, 

We call on you to ensure proper funding of specialist sexual, domestic and family violence services - to ensure everyone affected can access the support they need, and that perpetrators’ abusive behaviours are addressed.

"As a woman, I have lived in fear of sexual violence since I was 12 and a man – a complete stranger – walked up and grabbed my budding breast as I was walking home from school. Since then, I’ve been accosted many many many times. Not all cases were menacing but they added to the feeling I was a piece of meat to a sizable proportion of men in the community. I also heard sexist things from other men, even rape jokes. As a result, I walk with keys in my fingers, I’m afraid of going out in the dark alone, I feel scared when I am on a beach alone or have to walk through an empty park. I feel angry about this, and scared for my young daughters. I’ve lived in wester Europe, and the level of sexual abuse on the streets is almost 0. Australia should get to that."
