Why We Must Centre Young People to End Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence | ANROWS Conference 2025

Описание: Ending violence in one generation means listening to the next.

At the 2025 ANROWS Biennial National Conference, experts called for a radical shift: centring children and young people in Australia’s response to domestic, family, and sexual violence.

Featuring key voices from across research and advocacy:

• Dr Tessa Boyd-Caine, CEO at ANROWS
• Elena Campbell, Associate Director at the Centre for Innovative Justice
• Dr Georgina Dimopoulos, Associate Professor of Law at Southern Cross University

This video captures powerful insights on:

• Why children and young people are often excluded from policy and service design
• How fragmented systems fail young victim-survivors
• The importance of trauma-informed (and trauma-based) responses
• Groundbreaking research on child participation in family law decisions

This conversation supports the goals of the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children, and highlights the urgent need to embed youth voices into every level of prevention, response, and reform.
