Also appears in the journal Women Against Violence:, Issue 16, 2004-2005, pp. 44-46. This fact sheet outlines some of the myths surrounding domestic violence – those often argued by fathers’ rights groups. It briefly sets out the facts and figures to demonstrate the following: that the risk of domestic violence increases at the time of separation; women living with domestic violence often do not take out protection orders and do so only as a last resort; and protection orders are an effective means of reducing women’s vulnerability to violence.
