Together for Equality & Respect (TFER) Strategy 2017-2021

Together for Equality & Respect (TFER) Strategy: Preventing Violence Against Women in Melbourne's East 2017-2021 is the second four-year strategy developed by the TFER partnership. It outlines the case for action, the current evidence on how to prevent violence against women and provides a framework for action in the EMR.

This Strategy has been developed to respond to men’s violence against women, which has been widely recognised as a global problem and one of the most widespread violations of human rights. The impact of violence has profound consequences for women, children, families and whole communities. While violence against women is serious and prevalent, the evidence tells us that it is preventable.

The Strategy progresses the longstanding, mature partnership and commitment to the prevention of violence against women. The TFER Partnership works across the EMR and was established in 2012. This Strategy builds on the 2013-17 TFER Strategy and the leadership, momentum and achievements that have been demonstrated by organisations across the Region.
