This project is delivered and co-designed by AfriAus iLEAC with the LUVPACKS partners.

The ‘Supporting Multicultural and Faith Communities to Prevent Family Violence: 2021 Grant Program’ supports the Victorian Government’s vision to create a Victoria free from violence, where all Victorians experience equality and respect in all their relationships and live free from violence. To work towards this vision, a whole of population approach is required to challenge the drivers of violence against women and encourage attitude and behaviour change.

Program objectives are to:

• Deepen and expand primary prevention and early intervention activity with multicultural and faith communities
• Continue to build and enhance the collective knowledge of successful primary prevention and early intervention activity and intersectional practice
• Strengthen the capacity of organisations working with multicultural and faith communities in primary prevention and early intervention activity
• Improve the identification and response to victim survivors of violence by better joining primary prevention activity with early intervention activity in a wide range of settings.

• Primary beneficiary: African communities
• Secondary beneficiary: AfriAus iLEAC: Inspire Lead Educate Advocate for Change Incorporated, through capacity building activities and support provided to Grantees
