- DVRC's guide for women with disabilities experiencing family violence (also available in Vietnamese and Arabic); and
- A kit for service providers who work with women with disabilities.
These products draw on interviews with women with disabilities who have experienced violence. The women told their stories in the hope that it would help others to deal with abuse.
Service providers can download a useful resource on how to support women with disabilities experiencing violence (also available in hard copy from DVRC). The resource provides suggestions from women with disabilities, as well as practical tips on what individual workers and agencies can do.
The web-guide for women with disabilities has a quiz to identify the warning signs of abuse by a partner, a family member, a carer, or someone else. It provides an understanding of the effects of abuse, and the steps women can take to get help. Women with disabilities tell their stories and share their advice for others on surviving abuse.
The main text of women's guide is also available in Arabic and Vietnamese.
