Ending Male Violence Against Women Requires Stronger Measures

Despite government efforts, hundreds of women have lost their lives to male violence in Australia over the past decade. This year alone, 25 women have been killed by men. The community is outraged, and the government is under pressure to take more drastic action. One suggestion is to establish a register of offenders similar to that used to monitor convicted sex offenders. This would give women the right to ask about any potential safety risks their partners may pose. Another idea is to allow police to issue intervention orders via mail or social media, bypassing the need to go through the courts. The Albanese government has also been urged to establish a national royal commission into the causes of this violence.
