This report looks at the two choices available to women in Australia who are experiencing domestic violence:
and how these decisions impact the several hundred thousand women who are forced to make this choice each year.
The data that is published reveals both the shocking extent of domestic violence suffered by women who are now single mothers, and outlines in grim detail the economic, health and other consequences of the choice these women made to leave the violence. The findings are both new and confronting and have major policy ramifications for how we address domestic violence, and to the policy-induced poverty that is its outcome for far too many women and children.
