[A subject close to my heart...any effort/idea/ conversation that contributes to stopping the inhumane violence against women and children is to be supported] Dame Quentin Bryce says four decades of “courageous” social work led by women has not made headway against Australia’s domestic violence problem, suggesting the key drivers of change should be men and police. In an interview with Guardian Australia, Bryce said violence against women was “the most serious human rights issue in the world” and that cultural change in men was “the heart of the issue”. “It’s been seen as a women’s issue because it’s been women who have set up the refuges, provided the services, supported women and their children,” she said “But across 40 years of that hard work and commitment and professional skill, we have seen no amelioration of domestic violence. “We are talking about stabbing, strangulation, grievous bodily harm, tragedy, death – human hurt of such intensity it’s impossible to imagine.” theguardian/society/2014/dec/02/quentin-bryce-says-it-is-up-to-men-to-confront-domestic-violence?CMP=soc_567
