Keywords:	Informal responses
Year:	1998
Publisher:	Relationships Australia (NSW)
Notes:	Raises the importance of informal community responses to domestic violence and criticises the emphasis on "public" interventions. Discusses the lack of knowledge about the nature of the responses women receive from informal networks, despite the overwhelming evidence from research into help-seeking behaviour of the importance of community support to victims of domestic violence. Argues that not only should informal responses be explored but also that they should be facilitated. Explores ideas and possibilities for achieving this, drawing on practical examples in Australia and overseas, particularly in the developing world. Includes an appendix table of statistics on help seeking and domestic violence.
