Working with a community for change: tackling domestic violence and abuse

ABSTRACT

Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is a real issue for many people. It is also sadly in places in our communities and life spaces. During the pandemic, the evidence seems to say things have got worse (https//commonslibrary.parliament.uk/domestic-abuse-and-covid-19-a-year-into-the-pandemic/). Indeed, victims were suddenly trapped at home with their abuser, with no options of respite or relief (Chambers et al, 2021). © 2022, Journal of Community Nursing. All rights reserved.
