Phillip Ripper from No To Violence talks about the escalating problem of violence against women, while centring the responsibility of men in its prevention.It is evident that the previous National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children hasn't worked, and Phillip discusses what needs to happen to bring in real change. This needs to include the wisdom and knowledge from the sector at a meaningful level - through partnership rather than tokenistic consultation.LinkNo To ViolenceReferencesKristine Ziwica 2025, 'Labor shelves Nous review on gendered violence' in The Saturday Paper, No.574, 1-7 November 2025.Jess Hill 2025, 'Losing it: Can we stop violence against women and children?' in Quarterly Essay, No.97.
