Notes:	Historically, victims who ended a violent relationship typically had to leave the family home, making domestic violence a leading cause of Australian women’s homelessness. Almost a decade ago, the Australian Domestic and Family Violence Clearinghouse published its first research report, Staying home leaving violence (2004), which explored how women and children could remain safely in their own home and have the violent partner leave. There is now growing local and international recognition that supporting women and children to stay in the home is one way to prevent homelessness and provide women with choices when ending a violent relationship. Additionally, removing the perpetrator from the home reinforces accountability and consequences for violence. This Fast Facts summarises recent data on policy and program initiatives designed to keep women safe at home.
