Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law - 'Neither Justice nor Protection: Women's Experiences of Post-Separation Violence' - Cathy Humphreys and Ravi Thiara, 2003.
“‘Why doesn’t she leave?’ is probably one of the most frequently asked questions for those who witness a woman suffering domestic violence. Implicit in this question is frustration and mystification that women are failing to ‘look after themselves’, and often their children, by remaining caught in a web of violence and abuse. This individualizing discourse places the responsibility on the woman for leaving herself open to continued violence and abuse. It further implies that there is a clear line separating her life in the abusive relationship and the safety and security which awaits her once she separates.” (p.196)
