Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese branded domestic violence a national crisis amid an outcry over the rise in killings of women by their intimate partners.
Measures include new funding for survivors and a crackdown on misogynistic online content, following tens of thousands rallying across Australia demanding government intervention.
Campaign groups reported one woman killed every four days due to domestic violence this year, prompting nationwide protests following recent high-profile attacks specifically targeting women.
In 2021, 28 women were killed by partners or family members, nearly double the previous year's figure, indicating a concerning rise in violence against women.
