According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), one in four women in Australia has experienced IPV since the age of 15, as against one in 14 men to have experienced IPV within the same period (As above.). Significantly, a high percentage of adults in the above survey had witnessed parental violence, indicating an enduring culture of IPV (As above.). In the 2019–2020 period, there were 45 intimate partner homicides in Australia, 36 of which had female victims (Australian Government, National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children ‘Useful statistics’ https://www.plan4womenssafety.dss.gov.au/resources/useful-statistics/ (accessed on 31 October 2024)). The chapter explores the challenges that IPV poses to the realisation of fundamental rights for women and girls in Australia, showing how this group is disproportionately affected. It reviews some IPV cases in Australia and examines the country’s efforts to address this issue, such as the National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and their Children 2022–2032: Ending gender-based violence in one generation (National Plan 2010–2022), and the effectiveness of such measures. The chapter will then make recommendations for further strengthening of the protection of women and girls, and other vulnerable groups from intimate partner violence.
