Australia’s National Research Agenda to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2020–2022

ANROWS was established under the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010–2022 with a remit that includes leading efforts to build the research base on prevention and response to domestic and family violence and sexual assault, nationally.

In this context, ANROWS produced Australia’s National Research Agenda to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children (ANRA) 2020–2022 on behalf of its funders and primary stakeholders, the Australian Government and the state and territory governments of Australia. It replaced the national research agenda produced by ANROWS in 2014.

ANRA 2020–2022 provided a framework for, and guidance on, priority areas of research and research topics for academics, researchers, research funding bodies and governments across Australia. Its aim was to encourage the production of evidence needed for national policy and systems-level practice design in preventing and responding to violence against women (VAW) and their children, regardless of the source of funding for the research. In partnership with its funders, ANROWS identified research priorities from ANRA 2020–2022 for the 2020–2022 ANROWS Core Grant Research Program.

Implementation of the agenda will be monitored through the ANROWS Register of Active Research (RAR) addressing topics identified in the National Agenda 2020–2022.
