Improving the Policing of Gender Violence in the Global South

在太平洋岛屿社区，对妇女的暴力行为是全球平均水平的两倍，但大多数关于如何监管这一问题的方法都来自全球北方。该项目通过测试独特的妇女主导的警务模式，发现新的方法来改善对性别暴力的警务工作，从而解决了这种不匹配的问题。预期成果包括提供新的证据，以改善对性别暴力的治安，改善受害者的经历，并改革法律。 预期收益包括为受害者带来更好的结果，改进警务做法和减少性别暴力。该项目将根据澳大利亚政府的战略优先事项，促进澳大利亚与太平洋岛屿社区之间的更多接触、知识转让和伙伴关系。

Violence against women is twice the global average in Pacific Island Communities, yet most approaches about how to police it have come from the Global North. This project addresses this mismatch by discovering new ways to improve the policing of gender violence by testing unique models of women led policing. Expected outcomes include new evidence to improve the policing of gender violence, enhance victim's experiences, and to reform laws. Expected benefits include better outcomes for victims, improved policing practices and reductions in gender violence. The project will foster increased engagement, knowledge transfer and partnership between Australia and Pacific Island Communities in line with Australian Government strategic priorities.
