Youth Affairs Council Victoria (YACVic) believes every young person should feel safe in public and in their communities. We know that young women in particular do not always feel safe in public spaces and might change their behaviour because of this. Young women’s safety is a key issue for YACVic and we want to make sure that the voices and stories of young women are heard and valued. Share your ideas, thoughts and experiences so that we can work together to make Victoria a safer place for young women.

YACVic is the peak body and leading advocate for young people aged 12–25 in Victoria. If you have any questions or need support to complete this survey please contact Isabelle Mountford at imountford@yacvic.org.au.
