WIRE and our partners The Law and Advocacy Centre for Women, Australian Muslim Women's Centre for Human Rights and the Multicultural Women’s Alliance against Family Violence invite you into a conversation that highlights the issue of misidentification for women and gender diverse people, the impacts and access to safety and justice in the context of family violence.

Join us for a 1-hour presentation including a 30-minute Q+A to conclude.

Hear from a criminal law specialist, family violence practitioners and advocates as we explore issues such as:

· Who is most likely to be misidentified

· System and service response failures

· The cumulative consequences of misidentification

· How systems can support victim survivors to meaningfully tackle the issue

Details: This is a hybrid session available on zoom and in-person.
