"Recent survey results show 25% of Australians agree that women who do not
leave abusive relationships are partly responsible for the abuse continuing.
This stubbornly common attitude demonstrates that victim-survivors are still
being held responsible for the abuse they experience and for keeping themselves
safe.
However, this is starting to change. Against the backdrop of what has been a
horror year for violence against women and children, conversations have pivoted
sharply to focus on making men accountable for their use of violence.
This is reflected in a new campaign by the
Daily Telegraph. The masthead
recently published the photos and names of 18 men charged with or accused of
domestic or family violence offences in New South Wales. The media outlet has
also started using the term “coward’s attack” in lieu of domestic violence.
On the face of it, this campaign appears to be an innovative approach to
holding men accountable. But will it make women and children safer?"
