‘Broken’ after the deaths of three women, Ballarat embarks on an Australian-first trial to combat gender-based violence

The city of Ballarat, Australia, is embarking on an Australian-first trial to combat gender-based violence after the deaths of three women in quick succession last year. Principals of three high schools in the city organized a joint forum for their students, as the community was feeling "broken" by the tragic events. The trial aims to shift attitudes and behaviors that drive violence, with young people expressing a desire for change. The initiative is the first of its kind in Australia, as the city grapples with the devastating impact of gender-based violence and seeks to find effective ways to address the issue.
