Notes:	There has been a great deal of material written about the extent of violence and its effect within Australia's Indigenous community. This issues paper aims to contribute to the development of solutions to family violence by means of an interview with Pam Greer, an Aboriginal woman who has worked extensively to provide education and information about domestic violence, rape and child sexual assault to Aboriginal communities across Australia. Discussion includes: feminism and whether it can contribute anything to helping Aboriginal communities cope with violence; similarities and differences for Aboriginal women and non Aboriginal women who are victims of violence; barriers to ending violence towards Aboriginal women and children; consultation with Aboriginal communities; responses of the legal system; and use of the terms 'domestic violence' or 'family violence'.
