CAT/C/AUS/CO/4-5 received that over 50 per cent of the cases of violence against women are not reported (arts. 2, 12, 13, 14 and 16). In light of its general comment No. 2 on implementation of article 2 by States parties, the Committee recommends that the State party redouble its efforts to prevent and combat all forms of violence against women throughout its territory by, inter alia: (a) Taking measures to facilitate the lodging of complaints by victims and to address effectively the barriers that may prevent women from reporting acts of violence against them; (b) Ensuring the effective enforcement of the existing legal framework by promptly, effectively and impartially investigating all reports of violence and prosecuting and punishing perpetrators in accordance with the gravity of their acts; (c) Strengthening public awareness-raising activities to combat violence against women and gender stereotypes; (d) Increasing its efforts to address violence against indigenous women and women with disabilities; (e) Guaranteeing in practice that all victims benefit from protection and have access to sufficient and adequately funded medical and legal aid, psychosocial counselling and social support schemes, which take into account their special needs, and that victims not placed under the “safe at home” model have access to adequate shelters; (f) Further intensifying community-based approaches to addressing violence against women, with the involvement of all relevant stakeholders.

The State party should continue and strengthen its efforts to combat trafficking in persons. In that respect, the additional necessary measures required include: (a) Vigorously enforcing the existing legislative framework and promptly, thoroughly and effectively investigating, prosecuting and punishing with appropriate penalties trafficking in persons and related practices, ensuring the allocation of all means required for such purpose; (b) Guaranteeing that sustained, equal and effective assistance is provided to all victims of trafficking, in particular taking into consideration that, in numerous circumstances, victims are in a psychological or a family situation that prevents them from participating in criminal proceedings. Arrangements for the custody and treatment of persons deprived of liberty 11. The Committee is concerned at reports that, despite remedial measures taken by authorities, overcrowding remains a problem in many places of deprivation of liberty. It is 3
