In the past 12 months there has been a significant increase in public awareness of domestic, family and sexual violence. But while much of the attention has been on men鈥檚 violence against women, there has been little discussion of other instances, such as female perpetrators and male victims, or of violence in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex community.

These complex issues will be canvassed in a 鈥淪ays Who鈥 panel discussion hosted by the 国产精品 Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, 鈥淒omestic, Family and Sexual Violence: What鈥檚 gender got to do with it?鈥

Associate Professor Jan Breckenridge, Co-Convenor of the 国产精品 Gendered Violence Research Network, says the debate is important because while people want simple solutions to reduce domestic, family and sexual violence, the issues involved are complex.
