520 _aThis chapter examines the efficacy of law reforms to provide better protection for women and children from domestic violence. It looks at disputes around child custody and the issue of violence. Judicial discourses of domestic violence are explored, with particular reference to the Domestic Violence Act (1995) and the associated amendments to the Guardianship Act (1968). Improvements in relation to the law reforms are noted. The authors argue that despite these improvements, there is still a persistence of some old discourses that trivialise violence towards women, seeing them as provocative and unworthy of protection. It is concluded that an intersectoral approach is needed to end domestic violence towards women and children.
