The Country Women's Association (CWA) NSW  is centering its Awareness Week from 1 September to 7 September around domestic violence again. 

The last time domestic violence was the focus of the organisation's Awareness Week was in 2020. 

"This is clearly an enormous issue that is not going away and this year it seems like it's just getting worse, with hardly a week going by when we're not hearing about the senseless and brutal death of another Australian woman," CWA NSW President Joy Beames said. 

Regional branches are each having their own interpretation of the week as well. 

Pamela Simpson, president of the Bourke CWA branch said they are thinking about hosting a radio campaign similar to the last Awareness Week about domestic violence. 

"We have two local radio stations here and we went and spoke on those and tried to bring people to notice. I think a lot of people got our message," Ms Simpson said. 

Some of the demands from the CWA include additional resources to support women affected by family and domestic violence in regional communities, a data system where information on domestic violence perpetrators, and changes to the NSW Bail Act.

This year the CWA is partnering with Domestic Violence NSW and the Men's Table, a not-for-profit organisation that encourages men to open up and discuss challenges they face within their lives 

David Pointon from the Men's Table said the organisation gives men the tools they need to establish healthy communication with their partners. 

"The Men's Table focus is on creating safe places for men to share and be vulnerable and to forge meaningful social connection and a sense of belonging," Mr Pointon said. 

"The Men's Table wants to see an end to violence of all kinds. Positive male peer relationships are a protective factor for reducing violence against women. 

"We're calling on the NSW government to increase baseline funding for specialist domestic and family violence services in regional, rural and remote areas by at least 50 percent," Delia Donovan CEO of Domestic Violence NSW said. 

"These organisations are both working incredibly hard to bring about positive change within our communities. Acknowledging gender-based violence is a complex issue that will require a whole raft of strategies and initiatives to help turn it around," Ms Beames said.
