A creative programme in Australia that aims to break the cycle of phsyical and sexual abuse of women, has won the support of school students in Sydney.

The 'Love Bites' programme began only a few years ago, but has quickly spread to other states and territories. The Australian government is currently considering how best to reach students with the anti-abuse message. Students who've done the 'Love Bites' course say it is exactly the sort of program the government should embrace.

Presenter: George Roberts
Speakers: Mitch Thorpe, University Student and program advocate; Trudi Peters, National Association for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect; Australia's Minister for Women, Tanya Plibersek
