Working for the prevention of family and domestic violence is a key strategic priority for Catholic Social Services Victoria (CSSV). To highlight the ongoing importance for the Catholic community to take action on response and prevention, an open letter from Cathy Humphrey, Chair of CSSV Council and Felicity Rorke, Chair of the CSSV Domestic Violence Working Group has been written. It draws on a number of statements by Church leadership and urges reflection and change.
