Erin tells us about the findings from an in-depth national investigation of Australian young people’s attitudes and understanding of domestic violence from her work with ANROWS. Erin describes the implications for policy and practice design of discovering a gender-ignoring lens – utopian gender-free assumptions – in young people’s attitudes and how these insights were uncovered through research that facilitated young people ‘filling in the gaps’.
