Special thanks to all partners Safe & Equal, No to Violence, SASVic, and CFECFW for their collaboration in developing and launching the FVSV Knowledge Hub. To celebrate the occasion, key experts were invited to present on their important work to deliver better outcomes for children, young people and families affected by family and sexual violence.
We were honoured to have Minister Vicki Ward, MP, Minister for Prevention of Family Violence, officially launch the FVSV Knowledge Hub. Key presentations included Professor Fitz-Gibbon’s keynote address, “From Rhetoric to Action,” which stressed the urgency of policy reforms to recognise children as victim-survivors in their own right. Professor Fitz-Gibbon also emphasised the need for a coordinated and evidence-based approach to addressing family and sexual violence.
