'Break the Cycle'

Break the Cycle is a South Australian Government campaign, funded through the National Partnership on COVID-19 Domestic and Family Violence Responses, which aims to challenge abusive behaviours, increase awareness of services available to men and women, and empower bystanders to intervene, and to help break the cycle of domestic abuse.

The Break the Cycle website contains information, referral points and resources to help South Australians receive the help and support they need.

'Our Watch'

Our Watch is a national initiative to drive nation-wide change in the culture, behaviours and attitudes that underpin and create violence against women and children.

Our Watch's focus is on four key areas:

• maintaining constructive public conversations;
• delivering evidence-based prevention programs;
• working with existing organisations, networks and communities to embed prevention practices; and
• influencing public policy and institutions.

The Our Watch website provides information on what YOU can do as well as information and resources on preventing violence against women and children.

'The Line'

The Line is a national youth campaign aimed at addressing the attitudes and behaviours that contribute to violence. In any relationship, there are things that are black and white and there are grey areas. The Line helps young people navigate those grey areas, so they can enjoy healthy and respectful relationships and recognise behaviour that 'crosses the line'.

The Line is an initiative under the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010–2022 and is funded by the Australian Government.

'Let's Stop it at the Start'

Let's Stop it at the Start is the National Campaign to Reduce Violence Against Women and their Children. The Campaign was developed jointly by the Commonwealth, state and territory governments as a key action of the Third Action Plan of the National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and their Children 2010–2022.

The Respect website provides information on how to start the conversation about respectful behaviour toward women and girls and how to help to end the cycle of violence.
