Event Outline

Domestic abuse is one of the most serious & pervasive forms of violence against women and girls and constitutes a violation of their human rights. The response of family justice systems towards these victims epitomises a lack of understanding of the dynamics of domestic abuse and the utilisation of family law proceedings by perpetrators to continue abuse. This lecture will provide a detailed overview of these issues and an analysis of the relevance of international human rights law to this area.
