Purpose of This Report

Organised around the stages of the DFSV continuum, the report takes an activity-based approach to reflect ACA's diverse and intersecting strategies. It shares learnings from direct service delivery, prevention campaigns, community capacity-building, and systems engagement, drawing from the lived realities of ASB community members.

The report also reflects on the critical role of community-led culturally relevant responses in creating meaningful, long-term change. By sharing our journey and our learnings, we aim to inform future practice, foster more responsive services, and contribute to systems change, ensuring that the needs, voices, and strengths of diverse communities remain central to DFSV prevention and support.
