Family violence is not and never has been a part of Aboriginal culture. The ongoing impacts of colonisation and systemic racism intersect with the gendered drivers of violence, increasing the severity and disproportionate impact of family violence on Aboriginal peoples.
Preventing violence against Aboriginal peoples works best when led by Aboriginal communities. The purpose of this research was to document available evidence on effective First Nations-led prevention. It looked at what works best, and where there are gaps in our knowledge. The research reviewed evidence across Victoria and Australia, as well as New Zealand, Canada and the United States.
The report was prepared for the Dhelk Dja Partnership Forum. Dhelk Dja connects Aboriginal community members to the Victorian Government, so that they can address family violence issues together. (From the website).
