Our research

Violence against women and children affects everybody. It impacts on the health, wellbeing and safety of a significant proportion of Australians throughout all states and territories and places an enormous burden on the nation’s economy across family and community services, health and hospitals, income-support and criminal justice systems.

ANROWS Conference 2025


Listen, learn, act

 

Centring children and young people to end violence

 

Join us to listen, learn and act, as we gather with a shared purpose: to centre children and young people at the heart of the work to end domestic, family and sexual violence.

Too often, children and young people are overlooked in conversations about domestic, family and sexual violence, dismissed as too young to understand or too resilient to be affected. But this is not the reality. Children are not passive bystanders, and the impact of violence does not fade with time – it shapes their future.

Bridging the gap between knowledge and action requires a conscious commitment to acknowledge children and young people and to centre them actively in practice. ANROWS is Australia’s trusted voice on domestic, family and sexual violence. As Australia’s only conference of its kind, this event uniquely brokers knowledge for policy and practice through a focus on centring the voices of children and young people.

Policymakers, service providers, practitioners, researchers and advocates will come together to listen to young voices, learn from their lived experiences, and act boldly to integrate their perspectives into policies, practices and systems.

A textured orange circle sits on top of the blocks, with two diagonal red pieces leaning against it. The branding is for the ANROWS Conference 2025.
