A new women's refuge has opened in Melbourne, but what makes it different is it will only house those aged over 50. It'll provide emergency accommodation for the growing number of older Australian women who are ending up homeless, with a temporary safe haven. - В Мельбурне открылось новое убежище для женщин, которое будет отличаться от других подобных мест тем, что будет принимать только людей старше 50-ти лет.

Women's Refuge says ACC needs to stop treating sensitive claims the same as physical injuries. Figures obtained under the Official Information Act show only 5 percent sexual abuse claims lodged with ACC are accepted. The principal policy advisor at Women's Refuge, Natalie Thorburn, that's because a large number of survivors drop out of the process because they're put off by having to undergo a formal assessment. The ACC Minister Carmel Sepuloni says she's asked the agency for more information on why survivors are not undergoing assessments.

A conversation with Gill Evans who, along with other social work colleagues, set up the first women's refuge in Newtown. Gill set up the refuge in her spare time with no funds. Later in her later career working in mental health, Gill met some of the same children again. We talk about what these families, children and young people need in order to recover. Gill and I both talked about Montgomeryshire Family Crisis Center I mention my book: 'Into the Woods - When love isn't always a fairy tale'. There are also free resources on my site for people affected by domestic abuse.
On this episode we have the pleasure to talk to Senior Constable Chris Hurring of the New Zealand Police. Chris is based in North Canterbury and is the Family Protection Officer for the region.Chris has been a positive driving force against domestic violence and has also headed an award winning programme called ReachOut, which we discuss today.He also works closely with Women’s Refuge and Aviva, and has some eye opening insights for us around domestic violence, and the false stereotypes around it.We thank Chris for his time and the New Zealand Police, Women's Refuge, Aviva and Shine for the wonderful work they are doing to help keep Kiwi families safe.

At the beginning of lockdown, family harm reports spiked as women found it harder to escape their abusers. Police figures comparing the week before the lockdown to the first full week of restricted movement, revealed a troubling 22 percent increase in reports of domestic violence. Women's Refuge says it witnessed a similar rise in calls. As Eleisha Foon reports, some progress has been made in persuading men to manage their emotions.

Police have charged almost five people a day with strangling or suffocating their partners since a new family violence law came into force criminalising such acts in December.The new legislation was introduced in a bid to curb family violence and made strangulation and suffocation a criminal offence.Previously there was no separate offence for strangulation as it was treated as assault.The change was part of the Family Violence Amendment Act, replacing the Domestic Violence Act.Since then 416 people in total have been charged, around 33 per week and almost five each day.CEO of Women's Refuge, Doctor Ang Jury told Kate Hawkesby the charges show how common this type of violence is. "Victims talked about this all the time and I'm not quite sure people really believed us but certainly the ability to charge is demonstrating that that was actually true."However, she said it is not yet known whether the legislation is resulting in an increase in women coming forward about abuse."While we have had over 300 charges at the moment, none of them have been through the court, so we don't know how they are going to be treated by the judiciary."She said the police have made improvements in the way they treat women who have been abused."Police are getting better and this law change and the way they are using it demonstrates that to us which is really good."Jury said victims of strangulation often don't really realise how dangerous it is."When someone deprives you of oxygen you could die...this isn't a slap around the ear, this is genuinely life threatening, so for no other reason than that I think this [legislation] was a really excellent move."
