This evaluation report describes a community initiative that took place in East Gippsland in late November 2008. The report adds to the emerging evidence base as an exemplar of Aboriginal approaches, offering a unique opportunity for understanding and identifying potential strategies for bringing together Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal services and communities in order to address the shared problem of family violence.
The Gippsland CommUNITY Walk Against Family Violence extended over four days and brought together Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women, children and men, and agencies across the family violence and criminal justice service sectors.
The Walk aimed to bring about change in community attitudes towards family violence, by focusing on celebrating culture, strengthening communities, building partnerships and publicly demonstrating an attitude of no tolerance towards family violence.
The Walk is widely regarded as a successful, ground breaking, Aboriginal-led event.
