Intimate partner violence has serious impacts on women's health. It causes injuries, alcohol & drug use, and problems with mental health, pregnancy & birth.
For women aged 18-44, it contributes to the burden of disease more than any other risk factor.
#16Days #OrangetheWorld
On the #radio talking about #familyviolence as a major #publichealth issue and the importance of #bystander action. This following an illuminating & thoughtfully curated practitioner session on #gendertransformative practice from @VicHealth and @WHVictoria
@ANROWS @LeighGoodmark Might keep some victims safe for a period of time. Some victims report this time as their only time of safety. Imprisonment is strong evidence that can be used in the family court allowing her to get custody and keep the kids safe long term
"Use of violence is linked to notions of masculinity and hypermasculinity, and is not deterred by incarceration." - @LeighGoodmark on the relationship of intimate partner violence and other kinds of violence #IPV #DV
Could there be 'violence interrupters' or first responders who are not the police? Questions raised by @LeighGoodmark in her conversation with @PaulBarclay for @RadioNational's Big Ideas
Coercive control is a better way to understand intimate partner violence, BUT criminalisation won't change the underlying behaviour. If we make a law against coercive control, the new law can become a proxy for action. @LeighGoodmark on criminalising coercive control
"Responses should be a combination of preventative measures, community measures and rethinking what we mean by the safety of justice - justice needs to meet individual needs & be flexible." -@LeighGoodmark on building more complex, evidence-based responses to #DV
Recounting women
How can the data help us to better understand the context of these homicides, and communicate the gendered nature of the problem?
