Our Watch releases new guidelines for reporting on violence against women

Our Watch has released new guidelines to support Victorian journalists reporting on violence against women and their children.

The guidelines, called ‘how to report on violence against women and their children’ provide practical tips for Victorian reporters, editors and news directors on how best to present information in stories where violence is gendered.

The guidelines also aim to provide specific support in situations where violence is perpetrated against women who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, older women, migrant and refugee women, women living with a disability and women who identify as LGBTIQ+.
