Australian Human Rights Commission Information for LOIPR - Australia, 27 June 2016 aged between 0 to 14 years.20 It also estimated that family and domestic violence is present in 55% of physical abuses and 40% of sexual abuses against children.21 24. The Commission notes that Australia has responded to the Committee’s Concluding Observations regarding violence against women.22 The Commission commends the significant efforts made by Australia to address violence against women under the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010-22 (National Plan). 25. In 2015, the Australian Government announced $100 million in funding to respond to family and domestic violence by enhancing women’s safety. $21 million of the package is targeted towards specific measures to help Indigenous women.23 In 2016, the Australian Government allocated a further $100 million over three years to fund the implementation of the third Action Plan of the National Plan.24 26. However, as raised in the UPR Submission, a number of support services remain under-resourced. 25 Cuts to community legal centres and Aboriginal legal services can impact on access to services for women affected by violence. 27. The Commission also acknowledges the $5.1 million dedicated by the Australian Government to the implementation of the Third Action Plan of the National Framework for Protecting Australia’s Children 2009-2020, which will help support early intervention and child safe approaches.26 However, the Commission is concerned that this funding is inadequate to achieve the objectives of the Plan. 28. Issues for consideration in the LOIPR: • Information on how the National Plan addresses gender inequality, focuses on prevention measures, and ensures robust, independent monitoring and evaluation. • Information on the funding for specialist family violence services including legal services (community legal centres and Family Violence Prevention Legal Services), funding for appropriate support for crisis and transitional accommodation, and adequacy of funding for the Third Action Plan of the National Framework for Protecting Australia’s Children 2009-2020. • Information on how the National Plan addresses the specific needs and rights of children and young people recognising that discrimination, harassment, violence, and a lack of safety are all abuses of children's human rights. To this end the Commission refers the Committee to the National Children’s Commissioner’s Children’s Rights Report 2015.27 6
