FSU submission: Ending violence against women and children

Ending violence against women and children in Australia is a national responsibility. If we are to truly fix the systemic issues that contribute to this national scourge, every corner of society must play their part.

The Federal Government's National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children 2022 – 2032 is the overarching national policy framework that aims to guide this work in one generation.

The FSU recently made a submission detailing the essential role the finance industry and workplaces more generally can play in ending this violence. After all, healthy and safe relationships cannot be built in a society where inequality is normalised at work.

Our submission outlines our union's position on some key questions, including the role of education and training, how workplaces are an essential component for supporting victim-survivors, how workplace entitlements such as paid family and domestic violence leave and flexible work arrangement can be improved, and more.
