Not all forms of disrespect lead to violence, but all violence against women starts with disrespectful behaviour. We can put an end to this cycle by stopping it at the start.

Assistant Minister for Social Services and Prevention of Family Violence, Justine Elliot says, we can all play a part, by stopping it at the start.
