This publication summarises the key findings of the Violence Against Women Community Action Project supported by the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) in 2006. The project was undertaken to inform future work to prevent violence against women by improving understanding of how community attitudes contribute to this problem. Most Victorian women and men, regardless of their socio-economic status or cultural background, did not hold 'violence-supportive' attitudes on many of the measures used in this survey. Attitudes had improved on most measures since 1995. Nonetheless there were concerning numbers who held attitudes which may serve to either condone or trivialise violence against women or undermine efforts to address it.
