Domestic Violence Prevention Centre

This is an interesting article about how the media in Australia report on domestic violence cases and homicides. It makes some important points about the limitations of media reporting in particular cases due to issues involving the publication of details (such as the accused’s previous convictions) which might unfairly influence the jury, and in the Australian legal system could result in a mistrial.

However, these limitations should not shackle the media from improving their reporting on domestic violence more generally. The media played an instrumental role in getting the 2014 Coward Punch/One Punch laws passed across Australia. They took something as ugly as ‘King Hit’ assaults and resulting deaths, campaigned to change the language, which resulted in new and unique legislation, which changed policing and sentencing. They know how to bring about societal change because they have done it before.

It therefore needs to be asked why something similar is not done with regards to the reporting of domestic violence? Is it because of who the victims are? Young males are primarily the ones dying from Coward Punch assaults; and women (of all ages) are overwhelmingly the ones dying from domestic violence.

The UN is this week shining a light on gendered violence, but often the public is in the dark when it comes to reporting on domestic violence in the Australian court system — until the trial's over. This is why.

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities

Over one-third of women with disabilities experience some form of intimate partner violence.*

Seeking support can be particularly complex particularly when the perpetrator is also your carer or support person. This can also make the decision to leave a violent relationship very difficult.

A specialist domestic violence service recognises and understands some of the challenges that a person with a disability who experiences domestic and family violence may face. They can provide you with support in relation to the domestic violence and assist you to link with disability support agencies and advocacy services.
