Violence against Women: A literature
review commissioned by the National Group to Address
Violence Against Women
Acknowledgements
Many people assisted with this review. In particular, I
would like to thank the staff of the Women's Support
Project, especially Janette de Haan, who provided
invaluable information, support and assistance during the
writing of this report. Thanks also to Jillian Gilchrist
and Peter Jamieson at the Scottish Executive, and Xavier
Patry of Statistics Canada, for their helpful responses to
my requests for information. Laurie Matthew and Molly Finn
read early drafts, commented, encouraged, and along with
Sandy Brindley and Marsha Scott, provided much needed moral
support. My colleagues at the EVA Project were similarly
supportive, and their patience with my somewhat distracted
state is very much appreciated. Marley Laurie proofread to
a very tight deadline; any remaining errors are mine. I
would also like to thank Martin, who started.
I consider myself privileged to have been part of the
movement to challenge violence against women in Scotland
during the last 20 years, and in that time I have met many
women who were survivors of male violence. Their stories
are with me still, and I thank them for the lessons
learned.
