Summary Improving women's safety
Notes "An Australian government initiative"
"The Improving Women's Safety project is funded under Partnerships Against Domestic Violence 2 and within the "Perpetrators" (now known as "men who use violence") priority area."--p. 11
"The objectives of this project ... were to: Identify and document existing and emerging strategies for enabling women who experience domestic violence to remain safely in their homes (if that is their preferred option) by removing men, who perpetrate violence, from the home, or by initiating legal or other action against men which increases women's safety. Identify, explore and document the range of support services for women and children, and support and accommodation options for men that will maximise the safety of women and children if the option of remaining at home is exercised ... Explore and document the necessary legislative underpinnings and strategies required to implement and support women and children remaining safely at home, including the potential for model legislation"--p. 13
