Safety Respect

All people must be respected and be safe from the threat of violence and sexual harassment.

WHAT?

• People feel respected and safe at home, at work and everywhere in the community.
• Everyone has freedom to express their gender in the way they wish without fear of discrimination or ridicule.
• No gender should suffer disproportionately from partner abuse.

HOW?

• Free access to resources to flee violent relationships.
• Education for domestic violence perpetrators & society generally.
• Infrastructure to support safety [e.g. lighting].
• Tougher penalties for violence, harassment and abuse.
• Call out disrespectful behaviours before they become abuse.
• Primary, secondary and tertiary education programs include units on respectful relationships and behaviours.
