Description: In Australia and New Zealand, violence against women in familial and intimate relationships is a pervasive social problem. This chapter examines violence in both heterosexual and LGBTQI relationships and against women in particular. The intersection between intimate partner violence and child abuse is also examined alongside the ongoing and disproportionate victimisation of Indigenous Australian and Maori women. We conclude that domestic and family violence is a form of child abuse, and that there is not nearly enough being done to address these issues.
