Notes:	Suggests that women’s willingness to disclose violent relationships and become involved in family violence services is influenced by the totality of their life experiences and circumstances. Argues that the situation of violence is often the main focus of social services, with other issues and influences such as financial status, employment, wanting to stay with their partner, race and gender commonly overlooked as secondary. As a result, many women do not receive the services they need or simply avoid using them. Suggests that there needs to be poverty welfare reform, where social services respond to broader issues and provide women with more options and choices, particularly access to employment which pays living wages.
