Housing crisis for women fleeing domestic abuse

Women attempting to flee domestic violence in Victoria are experiencing increased pressure to find accomodation.

Currently, the housing crisis is at breaking point, leaving victims stressed and forced into homelessness.

The crisis has sparked an immediate call to action from the state government, to commit to a housing guarantee for women and children fleeing domestic violence, ahead of upcoming state election.
