Action! YouTube video combats violence against women in the west....

Women’s Health West and Victoria Police collaborated to produce a short film that shows women how to collect evidence if their intervention order has been breached. ....

.. ..

Intervention orders are issued by courts against perpetrators of violence to protect women and children who have experienced family violence. They outline certain conditions to increase the woman’s safety. Unfortunately, intervention orders are frequently ignored and those conditions then breached, seriously compromising the safety of family violence victims.....

.. ..

‘What if the intervention order is breached? How to collect evidence’ is a five minute film featuring local women demonstrating simple and practical ways of gathering evidence. ....

.. ..

“Family violence is the leading contributor to death, disability and illness in Victorian women aged 15-44,” said Dr Robyn Gregory, Chief Executive Officer of Women’s Health West.....

.. ..

“When women report a breach of their intervention order to Victoria Police we want them to know that we will take all breaches seriously and follow our obligations under the Code of Practice for the Investigation of Family Violence” Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Simon Overland said. ....

.. ..

“A breach of an intervention order is a criminal offence and we know from our data that women’s safety is often compromised when this occurs. Where appropriate we will use our arrest powers to ensure the safety and well being of victims.” ....

.. ..

In 2007/08, Victoria Police charged perpetrators for breaches of intervention orders in 7547 instances. This increased to 7791 in 2008/09 (increase of 3% from 2007/08). ....

.. ..

“So it’s vital for women’s safety that they understand their rights, and methods for gathering evidence of any breaches of their intervention order. Up to now, women have struggled to provide evidence of the breach to the police, given it usually occurs in the privacy of their home or without witnesses.” ....

.. ..

“This fantastic film project offers important advice in new and accessible ways to increase the safety of women in the west,” said Dr Gregory. “It will also make the difficult job of policing these breaches easier.”....

.. ..

“While three quarters of women in the north-west metropolitan region have home internet access, we are also producing DVDs for those women unable to access the YouTube version.”....

.. ..

The film will be available from 1 October on YouTube, the Victoria Police website, the Women’s Health West website, other family violence organisation’s sites and on ..DVD... ....

.. ..

Women experiencing abuse from family members can contact Women’s Health West on 9689 9588 or 1800 015 188 after working hours or the Police on 000. Remember committing family violence is against the law and there are laws to protect victims of family violence.....

Phishing scams on social networking sites—don’t be tricked into giving your information away!

SCAMwatch is again warning consumers to protect themselves from identity theft when using social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. While social networking sites can provide users with many benefits, scammers can use your personal information to steal your identity.

Twitter has recently warned that scammers have tricked users into handing over their passwords and user names to commit identity theft or steal money.

Scammers can gain control of a consumer’s email or social networking account in a number of ways. These include genuine-looking emails or messages from the site requesting the consumer to ‘confirm’ their username and password for their social networking accounts via attached links.

Once a scammer has control of a consumer’s account, they can change the password and pose as that person. Scammers use this information to send bogus emails or messages that look like they are from the registered user to request money or gain access to other consumers’ accounts.

SCAMwatch understands that scammers are posting false internet posts using consumers’ names and email account details and sending bogus emails and invitations to their friends on the social networking sites. These emails have been known to contain links to download spyware and malicious software disguised as legitimate files as well as requests for money.

There have also been reports of consumers receiving emails or messages from their online ‘friends’ or the social networking site. These contain a link to a fake login or website masquerading as their social networking site. Once a person logs into that false site, the username and password for that person is also stolen and may be used to steal the identity of that second person.
Protect yourself

* Never send your online account details through an email and think carefully before you give away any personal or financial information.

* Never enter your personal information on a website if you are not certain it is genuine. Don’t click on the link provided in an email or call the phone number provided; instead, find the business's contact details through a general internet search.

* Keep your computer updated with the latest anti-virus and anti-spy ware software, and use a good firewall.

* When using social networking websites:
          o Check the privacy settings and think about who you really want to have access to your personal information.
          o Be careful about what personal information you put on the internet, because scammers can use these details to guess your passwords or to commit fraud.
          o Check how much information about you is available on the internet—type your name into a search engine and see how many hits you get.
          o Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security—online ‘friends’ may not be who they say they are.
          o If you receive an email that appears to be from a family member or friend, look at the way the email is written and ask yourself whether the email sounds like it was written by that person.
          o If you receive an unexpected request for money from what appears to be a friend, try to contact that friend or their family or friends to verify the request. Do not use any of the contact details in the message.

Report

Report the matter to the ACCC Infocentre on 1300 302 502 or visit the report a scam page on SCAMwatch website.

When love hurts

Being in love is supposed to feel great. But sometimes it just feels confusing.

What can you do if you are being hurt, controlled or treated badly in a relationship?

It can be hard to see whether your boyfriend / girlfriend's behaviour is actually abusive, or it can be hard to find a word for it. They might try to convince you that their jealous and possessive behaviour is because they love you. But this kind of treatment isn't love; it's control.

Relationship warning signs
   
If you answer yes to any of the questions below, you could be in an abusive relationship, or your relationship could become abusive.

. do you feel nervous around your boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner?

. do you have to be careful to control your behaviour to avoid their anger

. do you feel pressured by them when it comes to sex?

. do they criticise you, or humiliate you in front of other people?

. are they always checking up or questioning you about what you do without them?

. do they tell you that if you changed they wouldn't abuse you?

. does their jealousy stop you from seeing friends or family?

. do they say that they will kill or hurt themself if you break up with them?

(Take the full quiz Relationship checklist)

You might have answered 'yes' to some of these questions, but still think 'it's not that bad'. But feeling scared, humiliated, pressured or controlled is not the way you should feel in a relationship. You should feel loved, respected, and free to be yourself. Your feelings and safety are important.

People who are abusive will often make you feel like you are to blame for their behaviour. You might think that if you try and change to be more like what they want you to be, then the abuse will stop. But in a relationship, you should be able to feel ok just being yourself and doing what you want to do. What about what you want for yourself?

If you are in an abusive relationship, it is likely to get worse over time. But you can't make your boyfriend or girlfriend change their behaviour. They are the one who has to change their attitude and accept responsibility for abusing you, and not make excuses for their behaviour. If this does not happen and you want the violence to stop, then unfortunately, leaving them might be your only choice.

It's not your fault if you are being abused. You deserve to be treated with respect.

The Victorian (Australia) Centres Against Sexual Assault (CASAs)[1] are non-profit, government funded organisations that provide support and intervention to women, children and men who are victim/survivors of sexual assault. They also work towards the elimination of sexual violence through professional and community education, informing government policy, advocating for law reform and facilitating research to increase community understanding of the nature and incidence of sexual assault.

Organisation

There are 15 CASAs across the state of Victoria and the Victorian Sexual Assault Crisis Line[2] (after hours). These offer free, confidential 24 hour emergency or crisis care for victim/survivors of sexual assault. This includes crisis counselling support, access to medical care and legal services as well as counselling support for adults who were abused in their childhood.

Being believed

Blaming the victim is a common way of dealing with situations about which people feel uncomfortable. A research study of community attitudes to Child Sexual Assault commissioned by the Department of Human Services[3] (then known as ommunity Services, Victoria) in 1991 showed one in four people believe the child should take the blame for sexual abuse in some cases.

One of the strongest messages from the survivors' experiences is how effectively this attitude of blame can silence victims and allow the assaults to continue. As one survivor points out: "You feel it's your fault. I would get the blame.
People would say; ”What did you do to cause this? I was the youngest and the lowest on the ladder. It was always going to be turned around to be my fault. I didn't have a Counsellor or anyone at school to tell."[4]

The Victorian CASAs believe it is important all victim/survivors that come to their centres are met with belief and compassion when they tell of their experiences and that they receive assistance and support.

Advocacy
CASAs provide advocacy in relation to legal choices, physical health concerns and safe accommodation. They provided over 145,000 counselling services to victims of sexual assault in the last 12 months. Over 80% of clients were female.
Approximately 30% of clients requiring a service were under the age of 18 years.[5] Advocacy/support is also provided for complainants required to give evidence in criminal proceedings.

Education

CASAs provide Training and Community Education to many audiences through the State such as;


The Step Program[6] SECASA - A program which investigates strategies that help children and their families who have suffered the effects of abuse, cope more effectively.

The Respect, Protect, Connect Program[7] SECASA & WHISE[8] - An injury-prevention focused workshop based in secondary schools in the South East region of Melbourne.


Personal Safety Success Training[9] Mallee Sexual Assault Unit[10] - This program is a tool to assist and aid with promoting and training protective behaviours to children, so that they may be safe.


AWARE Sexually Abusive Behaviour Treatment Services[11] for children and young people with problem sexual behaviours and sexually abusive behaviours. This Program has been developed in conjunction with the new legislation in the Children, Youth and Families Act 2005[12]. The Children’s Court[13] can now place children aged between 10 -15 years on a therapeutic treatment order who then attend treatment for up to 12 months.
CASA members actively support community campaigns aimed at public education and awareness raising on the issues surrounding sexual assault such as Reclaim The Night (also known as Take Back the Night) [14] and No means No[15].

Policy

In 2007/08 CASA members worked with the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development[16] to develop policy and protocols in order to improve responses to sexual assault allegations[17] made in Victorian Government Schools.
A number of CASAs across Victoria have formally joined with Family Violence Services[18] to improve service provision and responses to victims of family violence in keeping with State Government policy of integrating service provision and the expectation that key services such as domestic violence, sexual assault, police, courts and housing services will work together both at a strategic and service delivery level.

The Victoria Police (VP) Code of Practice for the investigation of Sexual Assault continues to be re developed after consultation with CASAs. The VP Sexual Offences & Child Abuse units [19] are staffed by experienced and qualified police members specially trained to assist with responding to and investigating adult sexual assault and child abuse. CASA Forum representatives continue to provide training to these units.


In Victoria your nearest CASA can be contacted on 1800 806 292.

The Internet has impacted on the way we communicate and interact, how we buy and sell things, how information and knowledge is distributed, but the law has not kept up. There is no single piece of legislation that we can turn to when we are faced with an Internet related legal issue, and usually, we have to conceptualise an online problem in the offline legal framework and adapt the existing law accordingly. In this context a wide range of laws are relevant including the Trade Practices Act 1974, the Copyright Act 1968, the Telecommunications Act 1997 and the defamation laws.
Nevertheless, the Australian Government has introduced legislation targeting specific issues raised by the Internet, including the regulation of online content (Schedule 5 of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992), the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 and prohibitions on online gambling (Interactive Gambling Act 2001).
For further information/advice if you live in Melbourne, contact the Communications Law Centre (http://www.comslaw.org.au), a specialist legal centre, focussing on media, communications and online law and policy.

The South Eastern Centre Against Sexual Assault (SECASA) is actively participating in the state’s response to the current bushfire emergency on a state-wide and local level.

Bushfire affects the whole community.  The shock of such a devastating event can last for a short time or longer.  Your reaction will be unique, each person responds in a different way.  There is no right or wrong way to feel and no set time for when you should feel better.  To survive and cope with your situation you will draw on your own strengths and skills.

Some normal reactions to shock can be:
Powerlessness and loss of control
Numbness/distress/bewildered
Fear/anxiety
Denial
Disturbed sleep
Flashbacks
Guilt/self blame
Grief and loss

The way you react may be that you cry a lot, or feel quite numb and appear calm and withdrawn to those around you.  Your body may also respond with symptoms such as nausea, sweating, shaking, tension headaches, fatigue, and loss of appetite or disturbed sleep.
 
The usual way that you manage is often overwhelmed by the experience you have had, so you may feel quite powerless.

You may find in the coming days and weeks that you have difficulty in coping with your normal life and find it difficult for things to ‘go back to normal’.

Why?
After a trauma the body and the brain take a while to adapt to a normal pattern.  Sometimes your brain will be reminded of what you saw or heard and your body will respond.  Firstly, it is important for you to feel safe and to meet your basic needs, such as, having; clothing, somewhere you can sleep and food to eat.  Having family, friends and community around you is also important.
If these feelings continue for an extended period you should tell a professional.

What could make it easier for me?
Actively do something –  help others/write/dance/sing/talk/draw/exercise
Reduce your exposure to shocking information – reduce your time watching the TV or listening to radio news
Ask for support
Think about what you need - make time for yourself
Get into a routine

Low self-esteem can become a bit of a vicious circle. For example, if you don't feel OK, you might often withdraw from people and give out unfriendly vibes; not look people in the eye, and not smile or initiate conversation.

This kind of behaviour might make you appear cold and distant, and as a result, people might make little effort to be friendly towards you.

You would then probably detect that people aren't very friendly towards you, and your belief that you're not very likeable would be reinforced.

This is called a 'self-fulfilling prophecy' because the belief that you are not OK affects your behaviour towards others, which in turn causes people to be distant towards you, which reinforces your belief that you are not OK.

BELIEF - 'I Am Not OK'
BEHAVIOUR - Don't initiate conversations or look people in the eye.
FEEDBACK - Other people make little effort to be friendly towards you.
PERCEPTION - People don't like me; I am not OK. (Therefore, the original belief is reinforced).

Some people mistakenly think that good self-esteem means being 'full of yourself' and arrogant - this is not the case at all. People with good self-esteem don't need to be telling others how great they are because they already feel OK about themselves.

In fact, it is often people with low self-esteem who boast and bully others. This is their way of trying to build themselves up, because they want to convince others that they are superior. (If someone has to try to prove that they are superior, it is often because they do not feel OK about themselves.)

There are many benefits associated with having good self-esteem - feeling good, taking up appropriate challenges, relating to people as equals and feeling relaxed in our daily life situations.

Good self-esteem is not something that you can achieve overnight - it is something you can work on over time. This is particularly important in situations where you are faced with setbacks or difficulties.

Building Self-Esteem

Becoming Friends With Yourself
A good way to build your self-esteem is to become your own best friend. This means talking to yourself in the same way that you would talk to your best friend. Imagine that your best friend came to you feeling upset about something - perhaps the way they look, how they went in an exam, something that a friend had said to them, etc.

How would you react? Would you have a go at them, and tell them how completely ugly and stupid they are, or what a loser they are? (Hopefully not!)
Most likely, you would listen to them, try to help them change their situation, or look at it differently. And you'd try to convince them that they really are OK, even though they may not feel good about themselves at the moment.

Now think about how you would treat yourself if you were in that situation. If your self-esteem is low you would probably give yourself a hard time. In fact, you are likely to be much harder on yourself than you would be on your friend. Isn't it strange that we often have completely different standards for ourselves than we do for other people? Imagine what would happen if you treated yourself like you would a best friend. How would things be different?

To start with, you would probably be much kinder and fairer on yourself. You would see yourself in a balanced way, and you wouldn't focus on and exaggerate your perceived flaws. If you made mistakes you would forgive yourself without putting yourself down. If someone treated you badly you would stick up for yourself, and not tell yourself that there must be something wrong with you. You would also spend more time encouraging yourself, and accept that you are not perfect, while knowing that neither is anyone else.

There are many different types of violence, including sexual assault and incest, bullying and family violence. It can happen to you at any age.

Violence can come from a complete stranger or from someone you know. Violence is not just physical abuse. It can also include emotional abuse, like teasing, threats or stalking.

Violence can have a very bad effect on you, whether you experience it yourself or see it happen to other people. You don’t have to put up with violence of any kind. You have options. You can talk to someone you trust or one of the services listed below. You can also ring the police and you may be able to take out an intervention order.


Getting an intervention order

An intervention order is a court order that says a person must not harass or harm you. You can also ask that the person doesn’t come near you or get their friends to harass you for them. The police can arrest the person if they disobey the order.


If you have experienced violence from a family member, boyfriend or girlfriend, you can apply to a magistrate for an intervention order. You can also get an intervention order if someone is stalking you. If you are under 18 it is a good idea to apply in the Children’s Court.


If you are:

• 18 and older you can make a complaint in your own name.

• 14 to 17 you can only complain in your name if the court allows it – you should go to the Children’s Court to ask. The court staff will help you with this.


Otherwise your parents or guardian or the police can make the complaint for you. Another adult can complain in your name if your parent writes a letter to say this is okay or if the court agrees to it. You can get legal advice before applying for an intervention order.

However, the court staff will help you to fill out the application. You do not need a lawyer to do this.

The scenario:
A sixteen year old girl is having sex with her boyfriend.   He wants to record it on his mobile phone.   She reluctantly agrees, thinking it would just be a "bit of fun" she thinks they would look at it, have a laugh, and that would be the end of it.
She asks him if he deleted the recording and he says he did.   Three days later, she is told by a friend of hers that she has seen the video on the phone of another boy.

How did they see it?
Where did they see it?
How many people have seen it?
Has her boyfriend lied to her?
Why is it on another phone?
Could it be sent to her friends, family, put onto the internet?

She speaks to her boyfriend and he says he just showed one friend.  He has lied to her about deleting it, betrayed her trust not only by lieing but also by showing it to someone else.  He somehow thought it reasonable to send it to a friend, without any concern for where the video would end up.

The law?
She is 16 years old and the boyfriend 17….having consensual sex is legal.  However, because many of our Acts of parliament still protect young people and classify people under the age of 18 as a child, the boyfriend would be guilty of the offence of PRODUCE CHILD PORNOGRAPHY under Section 68 of the Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) (Enforcement) Act  1995.

Because he has sent it to someone else he is also committing the offence of DISTRIBUTING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.

The friend receiving the video, unless he deletes it immediately, is committing an offence under the same Act of POSSESS CHILD PORNOGRAPHY and a more serious charge of DISTRIBUTE or DISPLAY child pornography if he further sends it on or even just shows it to someone.   The only reasonable defence for keeping the image (POSSESS) would be for the purpose of keeping it as evidence and making a report as soon as practicable to police.
