Other Titles:	Australian Domestic and Family Violence Clearinghouse newsletter
Authors:	Hovane, Victoria
Year:	2006
Citation:	No 27
Notes:	The White feminist movement has done some important work in the family violence field in bringing this serious issue to the fore in society's consciousness. Yet as a result, contemporary understandings of family violence have been firmly grounded in White feminist analyses about the issue and these approaches continue to dominate the family violence landscape. In this article, the author highlights why this is problematic for Aboriginal people by shedding light on the 'colour blindness' which is evident in the White feminist family violence principles, such as those upon which the WA Best Practice Model for the Provision of Programs for Victims of Domestic Violence are based. The author argues that in order to develop effective services and relevant best practice principles for the provision of Aboriginal victims' services, providers need to work towards culturally competent service delivery.
