Jess Hill and Michael Salter urge a bold shift in Australia’s domestic violence prevention strategy. They challenge the current focus on gender inequality and harmful social norms, advocating for a smarter, targeted approach. By addressing intergenerational trauma, ensuring real accountability for perpetrators, and reforming systems like child support and family courts, we can stop the cycle of abuse. It’s time to move beyond education alone and implement strategies that truly protect women and children, tackling the root causes of coercive control and violence.
