Violence Prevention

Women and girls’ right to safety is a fundamental human right. Women and girls also have the right to feel safe. Any form of violence against women and girls will not be tolerated.

The right to safety and to freedom from violence, harassment and discrimination is key to ensuring the equal status of women and enabling women to lead healthy and productive lives.

The NSW Government is firmly committed to creating safe communities and to tackling violence against women.
