WOMEN'S VIOLENCE AGAINST THEIR OWN CHILDREN, IN THEIR OWN WOMBS (Letter to Dom Post, Nov 28)


‘System fails to save woman’ says the sub-heading for your story Murder victim had protection order (Nov 28). The system fails to save women because it fails to save their unborn children. Men’s violence against women is ‘all the more tragic’, as Women’s Refuge’s Heather Henare says of this instance, because although almost always at least partly due to male duress, abortion is primarily a result of women’s violence against their own children, in their own womb.
