Domestic Violence Against Men is the New Normal is Leaving Sugar Mountain and the HIV Consumer Alliance of WA's response to the reality faced by men from the family court to abuse from the Domestic Violence Support organisations whose aim seems to be to prevent men from being recorded in statistics.
The WA AIDS Council is well aware of the studies that show that 75% of HIV+ People have experienced Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. WAAC knows that domestic violence and sexual assault are huge issues for the LGB, HIV & Trans Community. The HIV Consumer Alliance of WA and the Perth Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence have repeatedly requested educational materials and details of where to go to help and CEOs Managers and the Board have all refused to do anything to help people who are GB, HIV & Trans Men in domestic violence situations.
It's clear that the WA Government needs to have a new response to HIV in an agency that puts HIV+ people first because the current system has been described as being like having Dick Chaney in charge of peace negotiations in Ukraine!
