Over the past decade there has been increased criticism of the work of advocates for battered women and their children. While there is justification for some of this criticism, there is also a need to hear from the people who labour at the frontline of violence – for example, refuge workers, group facilitators, and community advocates. In this article, the author gives those people who work closely with the victims and survivors of violence a voice and, by examining the realities of their experience, highlights what we can usefully learn from their worldviews.
