Thank you for the link. Not yet opened. Dread finding they have designed a form to exclude the most excluded.
e.g. house sharers, sofa surfers, unofficial sub tenants may be the most desperate to keep a roof over their heads, since they wouldn't be in that housing situation if they had an alternative. Obviously they can and will be subjected, in the place they live, to every kind of abuse listed as domestic violence. But they are 'non-people'. The Domestic Violence laws do not apply to them, because they were supposed to be raped, beaten, coerced by a personal partner, not a sharer or sublandlord. Obviously they could go to the police, but with no right to remain in the place their lives may be at risk, and with no way to get the abuser to stay out, would it be sane to enrage him? If they run away, or if the assailant kicks them out for disobedience, where can they go? Non-people cannot go domestic violence organisations, because of the legal definition of 'approved domestic assailants'
Violence against the most extremely vulnerable women of all is not worth a mention. Rightly, of course, people are enraged by the Sarah case. At about the same time, a woman in her late 70s was killed by extreme internal injuries from an extraordinarily violent rape. The attacking nurse had a history of rape. But people in 'care' homes are the most non-people of all. I only heard a couple of sentences about it, and could not see any reporting.
