AUSTRALIA - BYSTANDER ACTION TO
PREVENT VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
25.05.12
- The VicHealth Bystander Research Project is the first of its kind in
Australia. To date, the project has included an evidence review to identify
research gaps in the field, followed by a state-wide survey to examine
readiness for bystander action in the Victorian community.
The findings provide a sound evidence base to develop further programs that encourage pro-social bystander action to address the determinants of violence against women. The findings also point to future directions in research related to bystanders and health promotion.
This publication is a summary of the full research report.
