Accessing Justice against Domestic Violence: Fiction,Webseries
What is the lived experience of people living in abusive homes? What are women’s challenges and motivations when taking action against domestic violence? Are there positive role model behaviours for bystanders or systemic stakeholders in supporting the survivors’ action journeys?
We are developing a fictional, long format web series that explores these diverse stories of women accessing justice against domestic violence, and giving survivors an imagination of what they can do to live a life without abuse.
