We believe young people should create,
not inherit the future.
Vibewire is the launchpad for young
changemakers.
Background
Vibewire in partnership with NCOSS, Jewish House, Minerva Collective, Western
Sydney University, MnM Institute and Academy Xi hosted #Hack4DV on 8-10
December 2017.
Over 100 people participated in the hackathon including, coders, designers,
entrepreneurs and subject matter experts from Western Sydney University,
Aunty’s House, Films4Change and DV NSW. As well as people with lived
experience of family and domestic violence (past and recent).
More than 50% of participants had never been to a hackathon before - and only a
small number of people had previously met. We were all swimming in uncharted
waters.
Over 36 hours, twelve teams formed and developed solutions that addressed the
key themes and problem statements.
Impacts on
Children & Young
people
Giving a voice and
support to children
and young people
Themes
Prevention and
Early Intervention
to deal with trauma,
isolation, mental
health and
rebuilding lives
Financial Inclusion
and employment
access to flexible
education, training &
employment
Accommodation
transitional, temporary
and long term.
Despite billions of dollars of investment and long term commitment to addressing family and domestic
violence, we continue to see rates and costs rise.
Domestic violence:
● Costs the Australian economy $13.6 billion a year
● Costs the NSW economy $4.5 billion a year
● Is massive in scale with NSW Police reporting over 27,000 domestic violence assaults in 2014
● Poses a bigger health risk to women aged 18-44 than smoking, diabetes and obesity
● Is 10 times higher in rural, regional and remote NSW
● Affects 1 million children and is present in 50% of households where children are abused.
Moreover:
● Aboriginal women are 35 times more likely to be hospitalised as a result of family and
domestic violence.
Problem we are solving
Problem Statements
JEWISH HOUSE Challenge: Supporting the child to disrupt the cycle of
disadvantage. Children are often the voiceless and those impacted greatly as a
result of family and domestic violence. Supports for children are needed to
ensure they have the right opportunities and mentorship.
NCOSS Challenge: There are many support services and structures in place
across the community and government that deal with the support and safety of
women. However, there are little services or support (accommodation or
otherwise) available to men who commit acts of violence in their relationships.
There is almost no early intervention support or emergency accommodation in
order that women can stay safe at home and the violent party leaves.
