‘Chaos’, ‘War zone’, ‘domestic terrorism’, ‘lost childhood’,
‘uncertainty’, ‘tangle’, ‘why me?’, ‘is there a way out?’ These were
just some of the words used to describe family and domestic violence by
participants in an interactive workshop hosted by Catholic Social
Services Victoria last week with
Sr Nicole Rotaru rsm. Twenty
participants from Melbourne parishes attended the workshop in order to
increase their understanding of domestic and family violence and its
impact, particularly from the perspective of women and children.
