Australia's first domestic violence commissioner, Micaela Cronin, has released her first annual report, urging governments to redefine masculinity and engage men in efforts to end violence against women. The report highlights the need for better strategies to engage men and track progress of the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children (2022-2032). It also recommends increased accountability for people who commit acts of violence, boosting frontline services, and developing new data on men who use violence. The report emphasizes the importance of a whole-of-society approach, including men in community efforts to end gender-based violence.
