In Australia, 1 in 6 women and 1 in 16 men have experienced physical or sexual violence by a current or former partner. In Victoria alone, police respond to a family violence incident every six minutes.
Domestic and family violence can take many forms — including physical harm, emotional abuse, coercive control, financial manipulation, and social isolation. It impacts people from all walks of life.
