Domestic violence is a scourge on our society with nearly 25 percent of women experiencing violence at the hands of an intimate partner. In light of COVID-19 and social isolation measures, experts are worried that family violence rates are set to rise. We spoke to CEO of the Australian National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety (ANROWS) Dr Heather Nancarrow, an expert on domestic violence who has a PhD in Criminology and Criminal Justice. We also spoke to Alice Clark executive director of Shelter SA to discuss the lack of affordable housing for people fleeing abusive situations.
