We believe there needs to be a strong focus on prevention, and in order to do this effectively we must focus strongly on preventing men from becoming perpetrators. This includes addressing some of the underlying systemic challenges associated with DFSV but also changing individual and community attitudes and behaviour.

Improving systems, associated legislation, policy, services and institutions will reduce the incidence of DFSV in South Australia and we wholeheartedly agree that it is a whole of government and community responsibility to address this national emergency
