An expert panel conducting a rapid review into approaches to prevent gendered violence has recommended governments across the country review and strengthen their alcohol laws.
The review’s recommendations included commonsense measures FARE and other community organisations have been long advocating for, including:
This is a once in a generation opportunity for governments across the country to stand together, united in their commitment to prevent further harm to women and children.
As Kym Valentine, an experienced television/theatre actor and Survivor Advocate, said,
“We shouldn’t have to try and stem the tide of alcohol into our homes – it’s something governments have a responsibility to do.
“But alcohol companies and their lobbyists routinely undermine the reforms that victim survivors have been crying out for.
“Now is the time for governments to take action, to honor all of the women and children who have suffered and continue to experience alcohol-fueled violence.”
State and territory governments around Australia have the power to keep women and children safe, by better regulating the way alcohol is marketed, sold and delivered into homes.
