Notes:	Provides an overview of some of the issues that arise in the context of shelters and other community-based services for battered women and their children, highlighting the need for culturally-specific programmes. Domestic violence shelter programmes in the United States that have attempted to address this need are discussed. The growth in the range of services offered by domestic violence shelter programmes, including the introduction of services for children of battered women, is then examined. The ways in which domestic violence is being addressed in other settings, including within the health system, the criminal justice system, the education system and in family and social services, are also discussed and examples of various programmes implemented in each of these areas are provided.
