Community responsibility for freedom from abuse (2006) : the view from 2011 Jennifer Hand and Betsan Martin - Dunedin Women's Studies Association New Zealand 2011 - Women's Studies Journal .
Women's Studies Journal, 2011, 22(2): 11-13
The argument of this paper was that responsibility for freeing women, men and society from abuse, rests primarily with communities supported by institutional and state resources and policies. We called for a rebalancing of responsibility away from individual women and men. We acknowledged that the attitudes and actions taken by family, friends, health workers and other officials were pivotal in either stopping violence and in reconnecting women and their children Six years or so on, [the authors] note changes as well as ways in which violence in families persists. During this time there has been a broadening of the scope of attention to neglect and abuse in families with the emergence of research and NGO agency attention to child poverty and inequality. The focus on children can be seen as a compelling strategy to address poverty and associated child neglect and abuse. Bringing to light the impacts of violence and lack of provision for child wellbeing in New Zealand is a doorway to addressing whole of family functioning.(from the introduction) Record #4088
