We see advocacy for social and systemic change as a vital component of male family violence prevention. For this reason, we devote a considerable proportion of our resources towards articulating and promoting the views and concerns of the sector and in developing responses to male family violence. We are represented on a number of Victorian and Commonwealth committees dealing with male family violence. We also have a strong media profile, providing a voice for the sector on topical issues relating to male family violence, gender issues and family safety.
