Full description
Towards the cost of setting up a support group for women who require to participate in child welfare proceedings or civil court proceedings on a long term basis, when there is domestic abuse involved. The emotional, mental, physical, practical and financial implications of this are far reaching. The support for women to stand up for their rights within the legal system has not always enabled them to feel safe, respected and prepared for the challenges they face. Many of the child welfare hearings they attend leave them feeling helpless, re-traumatised and frightened of how their children are being affected.
