Women’s Health Victoria (WHV) welcomed the opportunity to provide feedback to the Respect@Work consultation on remaining legislative recommendations in March 2022.
The Power to Prevent Coalition, representing over 60 organisations in the legal, health, community, family violence, business and union sectors, is calling on the Australian Government to act now to prevent sexual harassment at work by implementing all remaining recommendations of the Respect@Work report.
This submission welcomes the important inclusion of recovery from violence in the draft National Plan 2022-2032, and notes progress in relation to prevention over the previous decade. However, overall changes during this time in relation to the gendered drivers of violence against women and children have been minimal, and persistent or increasing prevalence rates are of significant concern.
