2023 NSW Election

Action to End Gendered Violence

The NSW Women’s Alliance is a group of NSW peak organisations and state-wide service providers, including Women’s Legal Service NSW, working within the sexual and domestic and family violence and abuse field and from a feminist framework, Together they have developed 7 key recommendations for policy and law change to prevent and end sexual, domestic and family violence and abuse in NSW, called Action to End Gendered Violence: A Safe State for NSW.

In the lead up to the 2023 NSW Election we are calling on all political parties, political candidates and members of the community to take a stand against sexual and domestic and family violence and abuse which is disproportionately perpetrated by men against women and children and to support the Action to End Gendered Violence recommendations.

Action to End Gendered Violence calls for action in seven key areas:

  1. A coordinated, whole-of-government approach to sexual, domestic and family violence policy in NSW
  2. Commit to intersectional primary prevention approaches to end gendered violence and promote gender equality
  3. Immediate and long-term supports for people experiencing and recovering from sexual, domestic and family violence
  4. Safe and appropriate housing for everybody experiencing and recovering from sexual, domestic and family violence
  5. Reform legal systems and policing for people experiencing sexual, domestic and family violence
  6. Enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to lead change towards ending sexual, domestic and family violence in their communities
  7. Develop and implement a workforce development plan for the specialist sexual, domestic and family violence sector
