Domestic violence against women in Australia is a growing crisis. One in four women will experience domestic violence in this country during their lifetime, and an average of one woman a week is murdered at the hands of their partner.

Professor Sarah Wendt explores this topic in an article in Encounter Magazine (page 24).
