Violence against Women in Campbelltown

Campbelltown City Council is dedicated to upholding principles of ethical behaviour, social justice and equity. Council views violence, in any form, as unacceptable and not to be tolerated. It also acknowledges that violence is more common and more severe towards women and recognises the wide ranging and damaging impact that it has on the lives of those affected.

Council is committed to:

• encouraging greater understanding, knowledge and action around violence prevention
• demonstrating that Council recognises violence against women as a human rights issue
• promoting a workplace culture which supports employees who are affected by violence
• generating awareness of relevant support available to those affected by violent situations
• articulating Council’s commitment to preventing violence against women, including a zero tolerance for violence in the workplace.
