About

Preventing Violence Together (PVT) was launched in 2010 as the first regional primary prevention partnership and action plan of its kind in Victoria.

Since then, many other regions have adopted a similar partnership approach to prevention. In 2017, the partnership launched its second strategy, Preventing Violence Together 2030: western region strategy to prevent violence against women.

The vision of the PVT strategy is that ‘women and girls across Melbourne’s west live free from violence and discrimination and have equal status, rights, opportunities, representation and respect’.

The PVT resource hub is a collection of key resources on the primary prevention of men’s violence against women. The hub categorises resources thematically.

The aim of the Resource Hub is to support the Preventing Violence Together Implementation Committee to implement prevention of violence against women initiatives.
