We are so out of line internationally on criminalizing young people. #RaiseTheAge is important advocacy to make a change @CFECFW @AnglicareVic @MollyDragiewicz @AnneHollonds
In a joint statement with @CCYPVictoria, we reaffirm our call to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility to 14, now. This is supported by international and expert evidence and is informed by VLA's practice experience in court every day. Read our statement:

Excellent analysis of the latest PSS data on #DV by @kristin_diemer Is the dip in rates of DV prevalence a good news story? We would like to think so, but it's complicated! @ANROWSCEO @safer_families @Kate_FitzGibbon

It should be exciting that cases of violence against women dropped during COVID, but we need to understand the big picture says University of Melbourne expert.

Domestic murders continue in depressing succession. They are hardly making the news as we seem to be becoming immune to the terror behind each murder @JennaPrice @JDev65 @EvaAlisic @MollyDragiewicz @ANROWSCEO
Another woman in Australia has been killed allegedly by her ex male intimate partner. Up to 13 women killed this year alone. So I ask again … how many will be too many? We need funding in every state & territory commensurate with the size of the crisis https://t.co/q09vPOG491

Such an important report @Kate_FitzGibbon Children stating clearly that they are not invisible - just no-one is listening! @DebTsorbaris @JDev65 @DrEmmaKatz
Young people in our study were unanimous in agreement that current responses to young victim-survivors of family violence are not adequate & do not meet their safety needs. There are significant opportunities to improve practice. Read our report here https://t.co/VAFnjtypzd
