#16DaysOfActivismAgainstGenderBasedViolence

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are disproportionately impacted by domestic, family, and sexual violence (DFSV). In the Northern Territory, the victimisation rate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women is 18 times higher than in other parts of Australia, with domestic violence related assaults occurring at three times the national average.

The drivers of violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women include:
• Ongoing impacts of colonisation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, families and communities
• Ongoing impacts of colonisation for non-Indigenous people and society
• The gendered drivers
o Condoning violence against women
o Men’s control of decision-making and limits to women’s independence in public and private life
o Rigid gender stereotyping and dominant forms of masculinity
o Male peer relations and culture of masculinity that emphasise aggression, dominance and control

By challenging harmful myths and understanding the drivers of DFSV for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, we can work together to create meaningful change and build safer, stronger communities.
