This Guide was developed to complement Change the story: A shared framework for the primary prevention of violence against women and their children in Australia. Change the story brings together international research, and nationwide experience, on what drives violence against women and what works to prevent it. It establishes a shared understanding of the evidence and principles of effective prevention, and presents a way forward for a coordinated national approach.
Counting on change provides guidance on how to comprehensively measure progress towards the prevention of violence against women at the population-level.
The Guide is a world-first in identifying indicators of change for the drivers and reinforcing factors of violence against women, and advising on available data sets and processes for gathering this information into a ‘picture of progress’.
Recent decades have seen significant work in terms of policies, initiatives, and campaigns to prevent violence against women and their children.
These efforts are bearing fruit – there is growing and strong evidence around what works to prevent violence against women, drawn from local and international research. Evaluation of prevention work continues to build on this evidence base, and we’ve seen positive change among those reached by prevention programs.
What’s missing is a picture of change at the national or whole-of-population level. The Guide will tell us if we are headed in the right direction overall.
WHO IS THE GUIDE FOR?
- Governments, researchers and other stakeholders working at the national, state/territory and local levels, and at the international level.
- Academics and researchers interested in how we measure progress towards the primary prevention of violence against women and their children.
- Those working to promote gender equality and end violence against women in other sectors.
