This is Part 2 of our National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–2032.

We call it our Plan.

Many women and children experience violence at some point in their lives.

It will take a lot of work to end violence against women and children.

We need everyone in Australia to help us stop violence:

• before it starts
• from getting worse or happening again.

We also need everyone in Australia to help us support women and children:

• who experience violence
• to recover and heal after violence.

Most of the violence we want to end is the violence men use against women and children.

We use the words ‘violence against women’ to talk about this problem.

But other people also experience this violence.

And they experience this violence in different ways.

We explain this in more detail in the LGBTIQA+ people section.

You can also find out more about how we will deliver our Plan in Part 3.
