Publisher:	Australia. Department of Family and Community Services
Notes:	"SAAP Service and Regional Research Project" "Report July 2004" "Project funded by SAAP Co-ordination and Development Committee" Outlines the background, methodology and key findings of a practice-focused research project undertaken by the Western Domestic Violence Service (SA) aimed at exploring the service and support needs of women subject to forms of sexual violence through their association with biker gangs, cults and/or sex work. The complexity and nature of sexual violence against these groups of women is examined and some of the ethical challenges arising for professionals working in this area are addressed. Specific issues arising in this context are then documented, including the role of police; the threat of murder suicide; homelessness; and unwillingness or inability to disclose and/or seek legal protection. A summary of major policy issues arising from the research and key recommendations is then provided.
