Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has announced she will be approaching Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull about launching a domestic violence awareness campaign which acknowledges male victims.

Ms Palaszczuk has admitted she has changed the way she speaks about domestic violence victims in a way which is more inclusive of men after speaking with a male abuse victim at a cabinet event in Bundaberg, the Brisbane Times has reported.

“I do understand that there are a number of men who have gone through or are going through (domestic violence),” she said.

“I actually did change my language when it did become public because it was brought to my attention that there was some serious issues surrounding some men in our community needing help as well.”

Ms Palaszczuk said the next time she speaks with Mr Turnbull she will be addressing the idea of more inclusive campaigns with him, admitting male victims need to be more appropriately recognised.

“I do think that is something we do need to address a bit more,” she said.

“It has to be about stopping violence.”

Ms Palaszczuk said her aim of tackling domestic violence by focusing on the younger generation had not changed.

“Any advertising needs to be about respectful relationships,” she said.

“We need to make sure that that is actually taught not just in the home, but in the schools and that it is the way we treat men and women and it is about calling people out for the wrong thing."
