Social Justice Report 2007 - Chapter 2: Indigenous communities dealing with family violence and abuse
Family violence and abuse occurs at unacceptable rates in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) communities.

There are many different tools available to suit the varying circumstances that face our diverse communities. Lateral violence is no different. -
