In its 2010 review of Australia, the CEDAW Committee asked the Australian Government to report back in 2012 about actions taken to implement the Committee’s recommendations on violence against women, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. This report provides the views of, and is endorsed by the National Women’s Alliances and 106 non-government organisations. The report was co-ordinated by the Australian Women Against Violence Alliance (AWAVA) and the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s Alliance (NATSIWA).
