    Under the Strategic Plan 2024-2029 Goal: 1 Growing Knowledge, Our Watch will produce an annual Prevention knowledge report. Each year, this report will capture evidence and insights from prevention practice in a key setting or area of our work.  

    The first report reflects on insights from 10 years of the National media engagement project. It's a synthesis of 4 evaluation reports from over the 10 years and 2 literature reviews commissioned in 2024. 

    Through the National media engagement project, Our Watch worked with more than 1,600 people, including journalists and media professionals, to strengthen practice towards preventing violence against women.

    Media is a powerful driver of social change, with a significant role in shaping community attitudes towards violence and gender inequality. The media industry is also a substantial employer and influential cultural institution with a responsibility to its employees to create safe, equitable workplaces. It’s a critical setting for work to prevent violence against women and their children.

    This Prevention knowledge report: Lessons and successes from 10 years of working with media shares the insights and what’s possible when prevention is embedded in the way media organisations run – in their editorial policies, industry guidelines and newsroom culture.
