I first chose to take a look at how various community groups tackle abuse as an common social issue not just in Australia but on an international level. These were a couple of the more outstanding ones I found…
*Advocates for survivors of Child Abuse (ASCA)
To support and enable survivors over the age of 18 to overcome the effects of child abuse.
*Elder abuse prevention unit (EAPU)
To ensure that the safety and quality of life within older citizens is maintained particularly those living in Queensland.
*Benevolent society (bensoc)
To work with individuals and communities to ensure people are safe, healthy, and free of abuse within both rural and metropolitan areas.
*Mean Words
A Swedish anti bullying charity aimed at decreasing the effects of bulling within the community.
*Gegen Missbrauch
an association aimed at minimising the sexual abuse of children within Germany.
*Frauennotrufe-Hessen
attempts to counsel female abuse victims of any age.
