"There is a dearth of awareness and knowledge in Australia and overseas about the nature and prevalence of violence against women with disabilities. There is even less still about the help-seeking experiences of women with disabilities who have lived with violence, and the gaps in - and accessibility to - the relevant support services. The purpose of the research was to analyse the extent to which current Victorian family violence policy and practice recognises and provides for women with disabilities who experience violence."--Provided by publisher
