Older women fall between every plan: Male violence, policy, and the gap no one is closing

No country in the world has a dedicated national plan on violence against older women. Not one. In this episode, Emma and Megan unpack why, covering the way older women get absorbed into sex-neutral policy categories, who is actually perpetrating violence against them (husbands, partners, and adult sons), the critical gaps in Australia's evidence base, and what a real national plan would need to contain. This conversation draws on AAWAA's written submission and participation in an expert consultation convened by UN Special Rapporteur Reem Alsalem, who is currently preparing a report on violence against older women to the UN General Assembly.This podcast provides general information and opinion only and does not constitute legal advice.
