published in the *********** Journal of Social Issues highlighting the struggles of rural and regional victim survivors in the pursuit of justice.

This research, conducted in a collaboration between the two organizations, highlights the unique experiences and obstacles that survivors in regional and rural areas face.

Recent La Trobe Ph.D. student Dr. Emily Corbett conducted the comprehensive industry-based study to examine the ******* revictimization of rural and regional women, and her findings will inform future research, practice and policy recommendations.

Dr. Corbett said that while research shows women subjected to child **** ****** had a higher risk of suffering ******* ****** in adulthood, little research has been done on this topic in non-urban areas.

“We know from existing research that experiences of ********* in childhood and adulthood are frequent among non-urban women, and that women who experience family or ******* ********* when they are young, often experience ********* again in adulthood. Our study sought to better understand why this revictimization occurs,” Dr. Corbett said.

“We found that many regional and rural women face significant structural disadvantage including low levels of employment and income, limited-service sector resources, unsafe family environments, and exposure to community *********.

“********* can be perpetuated due to social isolation, lack of transport options, and limited awareness and education about ******* or family *********. The close-knit nature of small communities can create barriers to women seeking help,” Dr. Corbett said.

This research is the culmination of a three-and-a-half-year study conducted by Dr. Corbett.

“We are pleased to share the results of this significant study, which not only contributes to the evidence base but also has real-world implications for preventing and supporting survivors of ******* ********* in regional and rural Victoria,” said Kate Wright, CEO at the Center Against ******* ********* Central Victoria.

“This research would not have been possible without the crucial contribution from the women who participated in the research. We thank them for sharing their knowledge and experiences.”
