Notes:	Reports on research aimed at determining the level of use and the effectiveness of informal support networks used by Australian rural women. Utilising a feminist narrative methodology, the authors found that poverty and geographical, social and emotional isolation engendered the privatisation of abuse. The stimulus for women to leave the family home was when their children, friends or family became victims of abuse. These women would make use of informal networks of support but also required a high level of expertise in domestic violence knowledge and skills. The authors recommend an integrated model of support on many levels for abused rural women and their informal supporters.
