The Greens welcome the comprehensive In One Generation report<\/em><\/a> from the National Women\u2019s Safety Alliance<\/a> today, and are proud to support its 20 priority actions. The Greens are calling on all other parties to match their commitment to fully fund frontline services, eliminate violence against women and deliver economic security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greens deputy leader and spokesperson on women Senator Larissa Waters said:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe National Women\u2019s Safety alliance has shown that ending violence against women within one generation is possible, if there is genuine commitment and funding to make it a reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere have sadly been 18 women killed by violence already this year. It\u2019s a national crisis and we need to treat it like one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Greens are proud that our election policy platform backs the policy asks laid out by the In One Generation campaign and we call upon all other parties to commit to those policies too.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Greens have been fighting hard for progress on all these issues for decades alongside victim-survivors, activists and women\u2019s organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur policy to end gendered violence calls for a self-determined National Plan for First Nations Women and Girls, $1 billion per year to fully fund frontline and prevention services for the life of the plan, $477 million for consent education, $10,000 Survivor Grants, and stronger, consistent national laws governing domestic, family and sexual violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will reform the family law system and double legal assistance funding so women can get the advice and representation they need to protect themselves and their children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will help build a strong and trauma-informed workforce, and ensure frontline services, banks, teachers, healthcare workers, police and judges recognise and understand the dynamics of abusive relationships and how to help people affected by them\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFirst Nations women, women from culturally diverse backgrounds, women in regional areas, older women, LGBTIQ+ women, and women with a disability are even more likely to experience violence and economic insecurity, and must be involved in the development and implementation of all policy responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will ensure that victim-survivors\u2019 guide all decisions made under the National Plan, and we will invest in behaviour change and recovery programs to help victim-survivors rebuild their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have introduced legislation for ten days paid DV leave, pay transparency, and full implementation of the Respect@Work<\/a> recommendations, including a positive duty on employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will build 1 million publicly owned houses and protect renters so every Australian can have access to a safe home.  We will increase the supply of crisis and transitional accommodation for women and children fleeing violence, and support Safe at Home programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a comprehensive plan for free universal childcare, and fully costed proposals to expand paid parental leave to 26 weeks, facilitate more equitable sharing of care roles, lifting wages, closing the gender pay gap and increasing workforce participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnding violence against women within one generation is possible. But the Morrison Government has shown a complete unwillingness to take the action needed to make it happen.  That\u2019s why Australian women need to vote them out and put the Greens in balance of power this election.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
