On average, one woman each week in Australia is killed by a current or former partner. Research demonstrates that attitudes toward gender equality, and toward violence against women, play a major role in influencing rates of gendered violence. This Our Watch (administered by the Walkley Foundation) Award exists to reward journalists for playing a part in changing these attitudes and stopping the violence before it starts. The Award recognises the work of an individual, team or news organisation in highlighting the drivers of gendered violence and the way these intersect with other forms of discrimination and abuse faced by victims. Entries must have been published, broadcast or televised in Australia from April 27th 2020 to April 26th 2021. Entries close Monday, 26th April at midnight. Find out more and enter.
