Pioneer of Change: Legislation in 2014

Annette Elliott

The age of entitlement is over!

The only time serious perpetrators of Domestic Violence are legally held to account for their behaviour is after they kill some one. It is my belief that serious perpetrators must be made legally accountable for all their violence and abuse,before they kill.
For centuries perpetrators have operated their control over their families with violence and with impunity. They have operated from a position belief in their right to do so without question.Who is going to stop them?
My message to perpetrators is ‘the age of entitlement is over ‘’’! We women are on the case.

The impact of domestic abuse on families and individuals

Domestic abuse covers a wide spectrum of abuse that takes place in too many homes. This form of abuse can vary from controlling behaviour, financial, emotional and physical abuse right through to murder which is at the peak of the spectrum. In many cases, enduring an abusive household will have a significant impact on those who witness and experience it. This behaviour may sometimes leave the vulnerable with physical scars but will almost always leave them with psychological wounds too.
