Abstract
In recent research and policy debates there has been an increasing focus on the primaryprevention of violence against women. Primary prevention strategies are understood asthose that aim to stop violence before it starts by addressing the social determinants of theproblem, rather than by responding to the problem after it has occurred or seeking tominimise its impact (VicHealth 2007). In Australia, recognition is increasing that violenceagainst women is prevalent, serious and preventable. Simultaneously, there is a growingevidence base to demonstrate that the primary prevention of violence against women is aneffective strategy to reduce the significant health, economic and social burdens associatedwith this problem.
