MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING CAN HELP MINIMISE FAMILY VIOLENCE

FAMILY VIOLENCE CAN BE MINIMISED THROUGH BETTER MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF EACH OTHER'S ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, THE DISTRICT SOCIAL WELFARE OFFICER OF THE SOCIAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT, MRS KATHERINE SHIN, SAID TODAY (FRIDAY).

SPEAKING AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF HARMONY HOUSE, MRS SHIN SAID BATTERED WIVES AND THEIR CHILDREN WERE MUCH IN NEED OF SUPPORT, ASSISTANCE AND AN INPUT OF RESOURCES FROM THE COMMUNITY TO ENABLE THEM TO KEEP THE FAMILY TOGETHER AS WELL AS TO DEVELOP A NEW SENSE OF SELF IDENTITY.

SHE POINTED OUT THAT TIMELY RELIEF AND RESPITE WOULD BE TRULY HELPFUL TO THEM.

OPPORTUNITIES
