Isolation is a significant feature of the domestic violence experience. For women and children escaping family violence in rural and regional Australia, isolation has is physical as well as social element to it.
Linker is a new program supporting rural and regional women and children to escape domestic violence and to stay safe. In the first few few years of operation it has been shown to dramatically reduce the risk of isolated women and children returning to the perpetrator.
Big thanks to Tegan and Joh who told their stories of violence and their experience with the service.
