A report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reveals that one in six women in Australia experience physical or sexual abuse before the age of 15 and one woman is killed by her partner every nine days.
Rates of partner violence and sexual violence in Australia have remained relatively stable since 2005, despite a decline in the rate of overall violence.
The report shows minority groups including people with a disability, the elderly and gender diverse people were more likely to experience abuse and the number of Australians accessing domestic and sexual violence services continues to rise.
