CEVAW Analysis

Examining the Vietnam War's long-term legacy, this study reveals that women exposed to intense bombing during childhood were more likely to justify intimate partner violence over 30 years later, with disrupted education appearing as a key mechanism perpetuating harmful gender norms.

This article provides an overview of the increased focus on the role of religion, religious leadership and faith-based organisations in ending gender-based violence including domestic violence.

This paper examines the link between physical attractiveness and individual support for income redistribution in a non-Western context.

New CEVAW research is revealing how childhood experiences shape the long-term risk of violence against women. Drawing on historical data from the Vietnam War and a longitudinal study tracking young people in Fiji and Vietnam, this episode surfaces findings that challenge the scale and ambition of current policy responses. Three researchers discuss what the evidence demands – and why we haven't built it yet.

What does ‘community-led’ violence prevention actually look like in practice? This episode explores three models at different scales: Dixie Link-Gordon's face-to-face work in Redfern Aboriginal community, Dr Zoe Bell's partnership with the Australian Rohingya Women's Development Organisation navigating displacement and statelessness, and Dr Jenny Anderson on Respect Ballarat, a nation-leading community model to prevent gendered violence.

Alcohol and other drugs aren't just substances people use, they're tools perpetrators weaponise to extend control and abuse. In this episode, researchers and practitioners unpack substance use coercion: how it shows up in families' everyday lives, why it's so challenging to address, and what trauma-sensitive responses require. Essential listening for anyone working in child and family services, domestic violence support, or substance use treatment.
