If there's one thing that domestic violence research has taught me, it's that abusers set up no-win scenarios. They punish you whether you cooperate with them or whether you push back.

The only way out is to strengthen ties with people outside of the relationship who can create new, better options.

Proud to share a story that’s been almost six months in the making, the first in a new series from @australia.theguardian.com exploring the ways our criminal justice system fails victim-survivors of sexual violence and often retraumatises them in the process: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
‘Rape is effectively decriminalised’: how did sexual assault become so easy to get away with?
Few alleged offenders are found guilty. Many victims are retraumatised. What is getting in the way of the Australian criminal courts providing justice to sexual assault survivors?
