Young Australians’ attitudes to violence against women and gender equality: Findings from the 2017 National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey (NCAS).

This report presents key findings from the 2017 National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey focusing on results for young Australians aged 16-24. It also presents the reflections of young people on the findings. These were sought through a workshop held in Logan, Queensland, in 2018 involving five youth ambassadors from a diverse range of backgrounds. The ambassadors were associated with R4Respect (run by YFS), an education and prevention strategy led by young people in Logan and surrounds to promote the values, skills and knowledge needed for respectful relationships. Key themes that were raised by participants in the workshop are represented in quote boxes throughout the report. Findings for the community as a whole, people from non-English speaking backgrounds and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians are explored in dedicated reports. These, along with further detailed findings and methodological information, can be found on the ANROWS website www.ncas.anrows.org.au.
