Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre
Monash Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre
Our research addresses the prevention of gendered family and intimate partner violence, the ways in which local, national and international patterns influence social and criminal justice responses to violence, and how women and those who have experienced family violence can be supported to access economic and social security.
