Women's Refuge Workers

Two women compare how victims of domestic abuse are treated - not only reflecting changes in legislation but the attitudes of both the police and society.

The way we deal with the victims of crime has completely changed over the years. In this programme we hear from refuge CEO Sandra Horley and Independent Domestic Violence Advocate Julia who compare how victims of domestic abuse are treated - not only reflecting changes in legislation but the attitudes of both the police and society. When Sandra Horley began work in the 1970s, women turned up at the refuge, terrified and without hope of any help from police or courts. She compares her experience with a Julia who supports women and helps them take their case to court.
