| dc.description.notes | Victims need both practical and structural supports to escape violent relationships. Financial security is a key enabler and employment is a major source of income for most victims. Workplaces are not immune to the prevailing negative community attitudes and beliefs about victims and this inhibits many victims from revealing their status and seeking help to stay safely in their jobs. Anti-discrimination laws have been traditionally used to change negative attitudes toward marginalised groups in many societies. Existing anti-discrimination laws in Australia are inadequate, and as part of the current process of reforming these laws, a separate ground of protection for victims of family violence should be included. This would serve an important normative function, signalling that family violence is unacceptable and acknowledging that the harm experienced by victims can be exacerbated by negative attitudes and inflexible policies in work. Australia's anti-discrimination laws are in the process of being re-written and this reform is one of many which could improve the capacity of these laws to address marginalisation and inequality in our society. | en |
