New strategies for combating violence against women

The Law and Justice Development Community of Practice (CoP) brings together practitioners engaged in regional and international law and justice initiatives, particularly those funded by Australia.Members are professionals working across government, research institutions, non-governmental organisations and the private sector who design, fund, implement and research projects in the broad field of law and justice development.Established following an inaugural expert workshop in November 2016, the Community of Practice is a platform to connect local and international practitioners within Australia and the Asia Pacific - to share ideas, learn from professional peers, make new connections and explore opportunities to collaborate.

Law & Justice Development Community of Practice

Australia, like many other donor countries, have made significant investments in combating violence against women through justice programming. While there are a range of common approaches supported to address this challenge, its global prevalence and persistence requires that our strategies are continually improved and diversified. This session will present novel approaches to addressing violence against women in the Asia-Pacific and discuss how new practices might best be shared.
