Domestic, family and sexual violence reduction
Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Reduction Framework 2018-2028
The Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Reduction Framework 2018-2028 represents our ten year strategy to reduce domestic, family and sexual violence. It builds on the achievements of the Northern Territory Government’s previous domestic and family violence strategy – Safety is Everyone’s Right. This new framework – Safe, Respected and Free from Violence – reflects our combined efforts, knowledge and ideas to reduce violence and work together to achieve safer homes, communities, workplaces and schools.

Mapping Report
Action Plan 2 was developed following the comprehensive mapping and assessment activity undertaken by the DFSV-ICRO. This is summarised in the final DFSV-ICRO Mapping Report.
Critical to the Northern Territory government’s prevention and response to DFSV is our ability to reflect on our past efforts, our current response, identify systemic gaps and issues, and draw on the evidence and knowledge base to inform future investment and progress opportunities for reform.
The DFSV-ICRO Mapping Report summarises the results of the mapping for each agency, and provides a comprehensive analysis of the prevalence rates in the Northern Territory, and the gaps, opportunities and proposals for reform. This forms the evidence-based foundation for the actions included in Action Plan 2.

Monitoring, Evaluation and Accountability Plan
The Monitoring, Evaluation and Accountability Plan (MEAP) supports the Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence (DFSV) Framework and its action plans. It lays out our theory of change, and how the DFSV Framework and action plans will be monitored, how we will measure the impacts of our actions, and how we will communicate this information with our stakeholders to deepen our collective understanding of DFSV.
