2. The term "domestic
violence" refers to instances
in which one adult in a
partnership abuses their
position of authority over
another. It's the practice of
using physical or
psychological harm to gain
power and influence over
another person (Wood,
2006).
Unbalanced power can be
moved from the heavily
laden feeder to the adjacent
light-loaded feeder using the
suggested dynamic power
balancing system (Su, Lie, &
Zamora, 2020).
3. • Despite the knowledge that domestic abuse
results in physical, mental, and sexual harm for
thousands of Australian children and women
annually, little is done to address the issue.
• In the past, domestic violence was seen as a
problem that needed to be addressed by the law
enforcement, the judicial system, women's
shelters, and other services dedicated to helping
victims.

4. • Child abuse, on the other hand, is a health

physical, sexual, or mental harm done to a
child as a result of the abusive actions of
another person or the lack of another person
to protect the child from abuse.

8. • To domestic abuse workers in Australia, the
use of digital technology in domestic violence
is a major challenge to their work.
• Creating a practice framework for dealing with
digital coercive control could help
professionals warn of the dangers of this form
of abuse while still allowing women and
children to freely access the internet(Delanie

9. An major symbolic role is played by

11. • The Duluth Model has served as an inspiration for
other Australian intervention programs, which
now include a wide range of integrated responses
and activities. The Australian evaluation finds that
the integrated model approach has the potential
to greatly improve victims' physical safety,
housing stability, and emotional wellbeing;
however, more work is needed to integrate
increased perpetrator responsibility to guarantee
victims' ongoing safety and wellbeing (Meyer,
2014).

REFRENCES
Editor's Notes
Such abuse can take many forms, including physical contact, verbal threats, humiliation, exclusion from social groups, theft, and sexual assault. The violence may be episodic, persistent, or intermittent. It's a habit of trying to dominate or control someone else. By means of physical and sexual violence, threats, emotional and financial deprivation, and other forms of abuse, abusers maintain control over their victims
Understandably, these concerns have been treated as strictly personal. Because of this, as well as the fact that the family has traditionally been seen as a source of love and support, there has been an element of denial on both the community's and the individual's levels. The family, though, is incredibly intricate, despite its central role in our society. Its internal dynamics can have both positive and bad effects on relationships and serves as a tool for social control and social support.
Domestic, family, and sexual violence victims in Australia can get help at 1800RESPECT, Australia's National Counseling Service. Information, referrals, and counseling are available around the clock, every day of the year, from the professionals at 1800RESPECT (1800respect.org, 2022).
The Daisy app for mobile phones lists domestic and family violence shelters and other resources in a user's location.
The Sunny app is a mobile resource for disabled women who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing violence to gain insight into their options, access their rights, and connect with resources (National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children).
Both men and women can contribute to power imbalances in relationships through manipulative and abusive actions. Experts in the field agree that this aspect of control is crucial, and hence, many intervention programs are geared around educating and empowering perpetrators to see the harmful effects of their controlling behaviors. That 'you lose control of yourself' is not the issue, as one program coordinator and author puts it; rather, the issue is that one spouse dominates the other. It's not about mastering oneself that leads to transformation; rather, it's about releasing your grip on who you think you are (Bancroft, 2015).

Services based on "narrative therapy," which emphasizes the value of sharing one's story in one's own words within a safe environment, are among the numerous methods that are sensitive to this kind of thing.
One alternative is "restorative justice conferencing" or "family group conferencing," in which the offender, victim, and bystanders all participate in group therapy in a safe environment where each person's right to "ownership" of his or her story and the steps leading up to it are recognized.
Such methods have proven efficient in responding to violence outside of the traditional criminal justice system, including in the very sensitive issue of sexual assault.
Equally, "transformative justice" is a method that emphasizes accountability and change for offenders rather than vengeance and punishment for victims.They are not necessarily focused on a punitive, criminal justice approach, but many express wanting their partners to receive such 'transformative' assistance inside the community services context to help them modify their behavior and end the violence (Dunkley, 2015).
Because of its enormous popularity, the Duluth model has inspired a wealth of literature discussing the effectiveness of domestic violence programs like those it inspired. Some have argued that sending convicts to classes instead of jail is immoral. There are many who argue that the evidence showing the Duluth model programs to be ineffective in reducing male offending against women is flawed. They also contend that many of the criticisms are the result of testing of programs that don't follow Duluth principles, while insisting that the Duluth model is highly effective when followed to the letter. Duluth model is a natural choice for worldwide comparisons and a target for criticism because it is the only therapeutic intervention technique that has been repeated across communities and countries.
