dc.description.notesOrganisation previously known as Queensland Centre for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence. To find all publications produced by the Queensland Centre both before and after the name change of 5 January 2004, use the hyperlink below the title, at the top of the page.<br/ >This brief Australian article provides insight into the experiences of violence of women with disabilities living in institutions. The case studies illustrate that these women receive extremely inadequate interventions and outcomes. The authors state that this is due to a lack of recognition of the different types of domestic and family environments and therefore recognition that these incidents constitute 'domestic violence'.<br/ ><br/ >The article highlights the challenges these women face in reporting violence, taking legal action or even receiving emotional support following the traumatic events. Finally, systemic issues are identified as primary contributors to the situation, including policy, legislation, appropriate support and specialised service delivery. A call to action is issued, reaffirming the right of women with disabilities to feel safe and secure in institutions.en
