To achieve our vision of a world free from family and gender based violence, we join with other organisations and advocates to drive social and systemic change.
Our Advocacy
Victorian Election Platform 2026
Safe and Equal has launched its 2026 Election Platform, calling on all political parties and candidates to make family and gender-based violence a priority at the November election, with a commitment to sustained investment and meaningful reform.
The platform sets out four priorities for the next Victorian Government: children and young people; safe housing and long-term recovery; justice and early intervention; and sustainable investment in the specialist family and gender-based violence sector.
These priorities will help protect the progress Victoria has made and ensure the state continues to strengthen its response to family and gender-based violence, while building a safer future for victim survivors and communities across Victoria.
Are You Safe at Home?
Safe and Equal developed the ‘Are you safe at home?’ initiative in 2020 in response to an increased risk of family violence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially launching in September 2020, the initiative provided victim survivors with information about what family violence is, ways to stay safe, and where to find support. In 2026, the Are You Safe at Home? initiative will provide factual, helpful and relevant information to Australians in every state. This campaign is aimed at people either experiencing family violence or those who believe someone they know might be.
16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence
The United Nation’s international campaign 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, takes place each year from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) until 10 December (International Human Rights Day). To support the delivery of the 16 Days of Activism initiative, Respect Victoria has funded Safe and Equal to connect and build the capacity of community organisations and local councils to engage with the campaign.
