These fact sheets capture findings from the Australian Institute of Criminology’s survey of 15,000 women about their experiences of violence in the months (February to May 2020) when Australia first began to feel the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
These resources provide guidance for policymakers and practitioners in further understanding women’s experiences of DFV during the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The resources, and the reports they are based on, assist in understanding current and future responses to pandemics and disasters, and are important for informing practice design and policy relating to DFV service provision and housing, financial and priority population-specific services.
