SHOWING THE WAY TO GOD
The Victorian Government recently launched ‘Until every Victorian is safe: Third Rolling Action Plan to end family and sexual violence 2025-2027’. The plan outlines 106 actions and cites four key areas of focus:
- Whole of person – understanding that everyone has different needs, making sure that our actions consider people’s unique experiences and needs;
- Whole of family – recognising that families can be both a source of harm and safety, meaning that we need to understand a person’s family context when providing support;
- Whole of community – encouraging people to challenge the attitudes and systems that drive family and sexual violence, including by preventing violence in places where Victorians live, work, study and play;
- Whole of system – refining laws, services, and processes to work together to more effectively prevent and respond to family and sexual violence.
Matt Tyler, Executive Director of The Men’s Project at Jesuit Social Services, explains in this video clip why we all have a role to play – at home, at work and in our communities. He says: “We’re continuing our work towards making sure every Victorian is safe from family and sexual violence.”
