This ‘near death experience’ is what keeps many of the victims in a ‘traumatic limbo’ quite separate to other victims of violence who have not been strangled (Ref: DFR 2022). \nStrangulation is a gendered crime. Since Strangulation Charges Since 315A was introduced\, the majority of offenders sentenced for strangulation in Queensland were male (98.3%) Queensland Sentencing Advisory Council. \nRed Rose Foundation is a national not-for-profit organisation focused on ending domestic violence\, specifically domestic violence-related deaths and suicides. \nThe Foundation’s work is broad and includes direct free support to victims of domestic violence as well as community awareness\, law reform\, training\, and research. Recently\, the foundation has brought to public attention a potentially lethal aspect of domestic violence\, strangulation \nIn 2021\, the Foundation opened Australia’s first Strangulation Trauma Centre to provide medium to long term supports to women who have experienced often sustained and repeated acts of strangulation. \n  \nTwo-day admission to the National Symposium offers: \nGlobal and International Perspectives: Acquire valuable insights from Australian subject matter experts and distinguished international guest speakers who are authorities in the field of non-lethal strangulation and partner-inflicted brain injury. \nCutting-Edge Research: The symposium is a collaborative effort with the Centre for Domestic & Family Violence Research and other noted researchers\, ensuring that the latest research and advancements in the field are shared with participants. Stay ahead of the curve and contribute to the ongoing dialogue. \nPractice Led Conversations: The symposium program will include practitioners bringing perspectives of work with trauma\, sexual violence\, brain injury and other health impacts\, justice\, cultural perspectives\, children and more. \nOpen Dialogue: Engage in meaningful discussions with professionals\, advocates\, and community members.
