This research report draws on the insights of 36 women with disability living in New South Wales and Victoria who outlined their experiences of seeking justice and security in the context of violence that they had experienced.
This research examines how these women worked to seek redress or support and the pathways and obstacles they encountered. This data has been augmented by interviews with 18 service providers from NSW and Victoria working in disability support services and advocacy organisations, domestic and family violence support services, and legal services. This is a qualitative project which limits generalisability: the aim here is to analyse the experiences these specific women have shared and work to identify patterns that emerge.
