Changing the landscape

Changing the landscape is Our Watch and Women with Disabilities Victoria’s national, evidence-based resource to guide the prevention of violence against women and girls with disabilities. 

This resource names ableism and gender inequality as the two consistent, intersecting drivers of violence against women and girls with disabilities. It sets out the actions that must be taken to address these drivers and stop this violence before it starts. It points to the many stakeholders that need to take action – from individuals to communities, schools and workplaces, to disability and health services, and governments. It makes clear that we all have a role to play in preventing this violence. 

Included in our suite of resources about the prevention of violence against women and girls with disabilities are: 

  • Changing the landscape: A national resource to prevent violence against women and girls with disabilities
  • Changing the landscape: Summary
  • Stopping violence against women and girls with disabilities: Easy read report
  • Prevention of violence against women and girls with disabilities: Background paper

These documents are available in PDF and Word document formats (Level AA accessibility).
