This is Auslan90 – Deep Dive, produced by Deaf Connect, supported by SBS.
In addition to our Daily news, Deaf Connect produces ‘deep dive’ videos which provide more detail and context to the biggest stories of the week.
Today’s deep dive focuses on Addressing Domestic Violence Against Women
Despite ongoing government initiatives, funding, rallies and national conversation around domestic violence in Australia, the problem continues to escalate.
Women with disabilities, including deaf women, are especially at greater risk of experiencing violence.
As we approach the holiday season, it’s important to recognise that this time of year can be especially dangerous for those affected by abuse.
Watch this video to learn more and discover how you can support any family members or friends who may be experiencing domestic violence.
This project is funded by the Federal Government Department of Social Services Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) program.
Your feedback on Auslan90, the news we cover and the format will help Deaf Connect better understand the demand for accessible news, and potentially expand the program beyond the pilot, so please provide any feedback in English or Auslan to [email protected]
