This document discusses abuse against women and efforts to address it. It notes that abuse takes many forms, from physical violence to social and cultural attitudes that diminish women. While organizations in Australia work to stop violence, the government provides little funding. A survey found high rates of abuse among women. The Catholic Church now condemns abuse but still limits women's roles. Schools have policies against bullying and violence. Overall, more needs to be done to support victims, challenge harmful attitudes, and promote women's equality and safety.
