to move:

That the House:

(1)

notes that 25 November marks White Ribbon Day, the symbol of the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women;

(2)

recognises that White Ribbon Day aims to prevent violence against women by increasing public awareness and education by challenging the attitudes and behaviours that allow violence to continue;

(3)

asks all Australian men to challenge these behaviours, so that we can begin to drive real change in our community;

(4)

notes with concern that one in three women will experience physical violence, and one in five will experience sexual violence over their lifetime;

(5)

understands that domestic violence and family violence are primary causes of homelessness;

(6)

acknowledges the cost of violence against women and their children to the Australian economy was estimated to be $13.6 billion in 2008-09, and if we take no action to shine a light on this violence, that cost will hit an estimated $15.6 billion by 2021-22; and

(7)
