dc.description.notes"Domestic and family violence is a crime where the overwhelming majority of victims are<br/ >women and children and perpetrators are men. While sociopolitical movements in<br/ >Australia have focused on women, there is a critical need to focus on child victims. The<br/ >second wave feminist movement strived for the acknowledgement of women as individuals,<br/ >as opposed to being someone's wife or mother. Children were typically viewed as silent<br/ >witnesses to violence, unable to comprehend it and therefore, not experience it. This<br/ >contextualises why historically, Refuges may not have focused on supporting children as<br/ >much as women. While legislatively children's rights are not protected as such in<br/ >Australia, non-legal frameworks such as those that promote policy-level reforms can help<br/ >protect children's rights in Refuges. The Women's Council for Domestic and Family<br/ >Violence Services (WA) (WCDFVS) developed the Good Practice Guidelines for Working<br/ >with Children and Young People in Refuges (the Guidelines) to help ensure that children's<br/ >needs are met while residing in Refuges. The aim of this article is to explain how the<br/ >Guidelines can support children at individual, relational and collective levels, and create<br/ >cultural change whereby children are seen as clients in their own right whilst living in<br/ >Western Australian Refuges."<br/ >Abstract - open sourceen
