This is such an important conversation in the family and domestic violence area, and one which we hope will start to make a postive difference for those women in our community who have experienced non-fatal strangulation within thier relationship, and how we can support those women. ![]()
#womenscentrealburywodonga #womenshealthnsw #alburywodonga #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticviolencesurviorYesterday, WHNSW attended Campbelltown Hospital for an Emergency Department Domestic Violence Expo. Joining our colleagues from WILMA Women's Health Centre, NSW Police Force from the surrounding local area commands, paramedics, health professionals and a range of other NGOs to learn about how domestic and family violence is addressed in emergency medicine. Dr Helen Rhodes, an emergency physician working at Campbelltown Hospital, has been championing a better response to non-fatal strangulation experienced by women in the context of domestic, family and sexual violence. Dr Rhodes has developed a referral pathway to the Emergency Department for community workers supporting women who have experienced strangulation in the local area, which includes being taken to a safe space away from the hustle and bustle of the emergency room setting. Dr Rhodes estimated, using American and British studies, that one in ten women who are sexually assaulted also experience non-fatal strangulation.
