Australia, like many other donor countries, have made significant investments in combating violence against women through justice programming. While there are a range of common approaches supported to address this challenge, its global prevalence and persistence requires that our strategies are continually improved and diversified. This session will present novel approaches to addressing violence against women in the Asia-Pacific and discuss how new practices might best be shared.
