VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IS VIOLENCE AGAINST THEIR CHILDREN
On White Ribbon Day 25 November 2009, the National Council for Children Post-Separation (NCCPS) called on the Family Court of Australia (FCA) to recognize that violence against women frequently involves violence against their children. A rally was held in Sydney on Sunday 22nd November to raise awareness in the FCA that violence to a parent is harmful to a child.
Domestic violence is the use of violence by one person to exert control over another within an intimate relationship and often takes the form of physical, emotional, sexual, spiritual, social, and financial abuse or a combination of such abuses.
"Violence against women is abhorrent but violence committed in the presence or hearing of children constitutes child abuse. It can be just as psychologically damaging to the child as being the recipient of the physical violence. For that reason alone, it has to be taken more seriously, especially by Family Courts," says Professor Freda Briggs, Emeritus Professor in Child Development at the University of South Australia who is a member of the Expert Panel for the NCCPS and author of some 16 books and a vast number of research articles relating to child abuse.

The National Council for Children Post-Separation represents more than 3000 concerned parents, legal experts, academics, domestic violence workers, men's anti-violence groups, health professionals, journalists, authors, counselors and members of the public from around Australia who are seeing consistent failures in the Family Law system to protect children and promote their well-being post-separation.
NCCPS mission statement is to:
- raise public awareness about the impact of the Family Law Act on children
- facilitate changes to the Act which will give children the best chance of becoming happy, healthy adults after parental separation
- bring attention to the Family Court culture which our members routinely see contributes to the Court's failing in their duty of care towards children from domestic violence or abusive backgrounds
The Council's primary task, raising public awareness about these issues through the media, is implemented through its Safer Family Law Campaign.
It's secondary task is lobbying politicians, promoting judicial professional development and liaising with and seeking advice and support from other organizations interested in children's safety and well-being post-separation.
