VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IS VIOLENCE AGAINST THEIR CHILDREN
On White Ribbon Day 25 November 2009, the National Council for Children Post-Separation (NCCPS) called on the Family Court of Australia (FCA) to recognize that violence against women frequently involves violence against their children. A rally was held in Sydney on Sunday 22nd November to raise awareness in the FCA that violence to a parent is harmful to a child.
Domestic violence is the use of violence by one person to exert control over another within an intimate relationship and often takes the form of physical, emotional, sexual, spiritual, social, and financial abuse or a combination of such abuses.
“Violence against women is abhorrent but violence committed in the presence or hearing of children constitutes child abuse. It can be just as psychologically damaging to the child as being the recipient of the physical violence. For that reason alone, it has to be taken more seriously, especially by Family Courts,” says Professor Freda Briggs, Emeritus Professor in Child Development at the University of South Australia who is a member of the Expert Panel for the NCCPS and author of some 16 books and a vast number of research articles relating to child abuse.
