Misidentified: The Cost of Getting It Wrong
18 May @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
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
