Fact Sheet for Women Cover

Fact Sheet for Women

The Queensland Centre for Domestic and Family Violence Research, in consultation with its 16-member advisory group, members of the domestic violence sector, Legal Aid Qld and Brisbane Women's Legal Service, has developed a Fact Sheet for Women. This fact sheet is designed to answer questions women frequently ask when they are considering action to take in response to domestic violence (specifically, intimate partner abuse). It is designed to allay fears women may have about attending a domestic violence service by explaining what domestic violence services will and won't do, and also to help women who may not recall responses to all their questions when they do attend a service. The Fact Sheet for Women provides a web link to a wide range of domestic violence and sexual assault support services available in Queensland.
