Retro Radio: Equal access for all women migrant victims of domestic violence

We look back at a 2017 Gabriela Australia interview calling for equal access to services and support for women in Australia who are victims of domestic violence.

Gabriela Australia's Ness Gavnazo says that in most cases, 'women on a temporary visa are often hesitant to seek support or escape their abusive relationships because they often have nowhere or no one to run to for long-term support.' Source: Moment RF / Rapeepong Puttakumwong/Getty Images

Key Points

• There is a huge demand for family violences support and services.
• Temporary visa holders are last on the list of priority cases.
• Many victims are afraid to seek help beacuse of fear of deportation.
