Title When it comes to family violence, young women are too often ignored Degree of recognition National Media type Web Country/Territory Australia Date 15/09/22 Description Recent evidence shows the scale of sexual violence against women and children in Australia has been severely underestimated. Family violence is a key driver.
Yet, young women are currently invisible in responses to such violence. Our research sought to understand why young women’s experiences are so overlooked. We found that young women have typically been sidelined in approaches to family violence, and need to be given specific regard in any strategies to address it.URL https://theconversation.com/when-it-comes-to-family-violence-young-women-are-too-often-ignored-190547 Persons Bianca Johnston, Catherine Flynn, Faith Gordon
