   Knowing and Doing: 50 Years of Change in the DFV Sector

   Fifty years after the first women's refuge opened in Sydney, the Australian domestic and family violence sector looks very different – but the gap between what we know works to prevent violence and what is actually funded, implemented and reaching the people who need it most remains stubbornly wide. In this episode of CEVAW Conversations, host Siân Human speaks with Delia Donovan (CEO, Domestic Violence NSW) and Dr Vincent Hurley (Macquarie University; former NSW Policeofficer). Between them, they trace the evolution of the DFV sector from two very different vantage points – the service system and the institution of policing – exploring the milestones and the people who drove them, the plansthat haven't been enacted, and what it actually takes to turn evidence into action. This episode covers the women's refuge movement and the birth of DV NSW; how policing culture and practice has changed since the 1980s; new legislation like coercive control and what itmeans in practice; the gap between national plans and frontline funding; prevention versus crisis response and why it's a false choice; and what it looks like to take evidence directly to young people. CEVAW Conversations is a podcast by the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, produced at Monash University. Episodes explore how research and evidence translate into real-world practice and policy change.

   Early exposure, lasting harm: how childhood shapes the risk of violence against women

   About this episode Early exposure causes lasting harm. It's a finding that runs through a growing body of violence prevention research – and in this episode, we bring together three researchers who are mapping exactly how that works, and why our responses haven't kept pace. Phil Doan Pham is a PhD candidate at CEVAW whose research uses historical data from the Vietnam War to trace a striking pattern: women exposed to intense bombing during childhood were significantly more likely, decades later, to justify intimate partner violence against themselves. Dr Revathi Krishna is a CEVAW research fellow at Monash University's School of Public Health. Her longitudinal study follows young people in Fiji and Vietnam – before many of them have experienced intimate partner violence – to understandhow early experiences accumulate into risk or resilience across the life course. With Professor Cameron Parsell from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Children and Families over the Life Course, we ask the harder question: if violence against women is a long-term, structural problem that begins in childhood and echoesacross decades, why haven't our responses matched what the evidence demands?His answer is honest – ending domestic and family violence would require fundamental changes to how society is organised around gender, employment, and power. Not everyone agrees those changes should happen. And when things go wrong, we tend to blame an underfunded sector rather than confront thatstructural reality. Phil's research looks back. Revathi's looks forward. Cameron asks why we're still not doing enough with what we know. Together, they make a case for responses that are more ambitious, more structural, and go further than anything we've built so far.

   From the Ground Up: Community-led Approaches to Violence Prevention

   Who leads violence prevention work, and how?‘Community-led’ has become a buzzword, but what does it actually mean in practice? In this episode, we explore three distinct models of community-driven prevention work, each operating at a different scale but sharing core principles. Dixie Link-Gordon brings 38 years of experience working in the Redfern Aboriginal community, where prevention happens in face-to-face conversations, built on trust and connection. Dr Zoe Bell shares how the Australian Rohingya Women's Development Organisation creates protective factors and resistance within displacement, statelessness, and temporary protection. And Dr Jenny Anderson explains the Respect Ballarat saturation model – a government-funded initiative attempting to coordinate prevention activities across an entire city of 120,000 people whilst genuinely partnering with community. From yarns on the street to women-only safe spaces to city-wide coordination, these three guests reveal what community ownership actually requires: time, trust, meeting people where they're at, and understanding that communities can only do so much when operating within structural constraints. The principles hold across every scale: communities define the need, shape the solution, and own the work. Our job is to support that, not replace it.

   Hidden Tactics of Domestic Violence: Substance Use Coercion

   In this episode we sit down with researchers and practitioners to explore the complex intersection of substance use, coercion, and family violence. Monique Yeoman from Kids First Australia and Emma Shaw from Odyssey Victoria join us alongside academics Professor Cathy Humphreys and Van Callaly from the University of Melbourne and CEVAW to unpack how alcohol and other drugs can be weaponised as tools of control in abusive relationships. The conversation moves beyond traditional understandings of substance abuse to examine how alcohol and drugs become instruments of coercive control - used by perpetrators to extend abuse and violence. Through real-world examples from clinical practice, the panel illustrates what substance use coercion looks like in families' everyday lives and why it presents unique challenges for practitioners working to keep children and families safe. This episode offers crucial insights for anyone working in child and family services, domestic violence support, or substance use treatment, highlighting the importance of recognising these patterns and responding with informed, trauma-sensitive approaches.

   Dismantling Patriarchy in the Pews: A 20-Year Study on Faith and Violence

   Content note: This episode discusses domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse. What does it take for an institution to honestly examine how it responds to gender-based violence? In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research commissioned by the Anglican Diocese of Adelaide – a rare longitudinal study comparing clergy and church workers' responses to disclosures of abuse across 20 years. Siân Human speaks with: Professor Sarah Wendt, Professor of Social Work, University of Melbourne Dr Josephine Clarke, Research Fellow, University of Melbourne Reverend Canon Dr Joan Riley, Principal of Saint Barnabas College, Anglican Diocese of Adelaide Sharon Lockwood, Survivors’ Advocate, Anglican Diocese of Adelaide Together, they discuss what the research revealed: significant improvements in responding to child abuse, but persistent gaps in addressing adult sexual assault and domestic violence. The conversation explores the unique strengths of pastoral care, the challenges of addressing gender inequality in religious contexts, and the cultural transformation needed to truly support survivors. From the misuse of scripture to keep women in violent relationships, to the ‘Ten Commitments’ making domestic violence prevention and response visible in churches – this episode doesn't shy away from difficult truths. But it's ultimately a story of courage, partnership, and the possibility of change. Topics covered: Longitudinal research methodology and partnership with faith communities The role of pastoral care in addressing self-blame and spiritual harm Gender inequality as inseparable from violence prevention Training gaps and implementation challenges Dismantling patriarchal structures in religious institutions Measuring progress and planning for the future The researchers are now exploring faith-based pastoral care practices through the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (CEVAW), continuing this vital work across different faith contexts.

   When the waters rise - How climate change fuels violence against women

   Summary Climate change isn't just an environmental crisis – it'sa women's rights crisis. From Australia's devastating floods to Pacific Island relocations, climate disasters are driving alarming increases in gender-based violence worldwide. In this eye-opening episode, three leading experts explore the intersection of climate change and violence against women. CEVAW researcher Celeste Harris shares compelling evidence from a systematic review of 27 studies, with almost 90% finding increase. Dr Betty Barkha reveals how climate displacement isforcing Pacific communities from their ancestral lands. And Michelle Higelin from ActionAid Australia showcases powerful community-led solutions that are protecting women and transforming disaster response. Discover why women in displacement camps face heightened violence risks, how loss of land threatens Indigenous identity, and what actually works to keep women safe during climate emergencies. This episode challenges us to see climate action and gender justice as inseparable – and shows how local women's leadership is driving the change we desperately need.

   Does criminalisation prevent violence against women?

   In this episode of CEVAW Conversations, we explore a complex and timely question: does criminalising violence against women actually make women safer? Professors Heather Douglas, Julia Tolmie and Kyllie Cripps bring legal expertise, research insights and lived experience to unpack the limits of the current justice system – and what we should be asking instead. We discuss the symbolic power of the law, the risks of relying on punitive responses, and the urgent need for alternatives to incarceration that centre prevention, accountability and survivor safety. From restorative approaches tocommunity-driven solutions, this conversation challenges one-size-fits-all thinking and asks what real justice could look like. If you're interested in meaningful reform, survivor safety, system transformation and evidence-based alternatives to punishment, this conversation is for you.
