Violence has much complexity to it. It’s is unwise to take a reductionist view point. While, power, neoliberalism, colonialism, trauma, entitlement, privilege etc etc play into it, there is one common thing. Perpetrators, architects of violence are mostly male.

We had two days of summer, fresh day today in Hobart. No matter the weather, the land of Palawa people is beautiful

Complex Adaptive Systems can operate with simple rules, sometimes only 3 rules. Reimagining how our current systems could operate in DFV using simple rules. Let victim/survivors make the rules.

Complex Adaptive Systems & Transformative Justice have much in common in push back against neoliberal not for profits, social work
“Distributed Intelligence and decision making does not require a central governing authority”. Self-organising basins of attraction will work it out without more harm.

Neoliberalism/Biopolitics- Statutory and Non Governmental Orgini$ation$ (govt) restrict/prevent Social Workers with frameworks, policy, procedures. They contradict core professional commitments to social justice, human dignity, and structural change. Invest in communities not restrictive practice.

If we End DFV we would not need; Child Protection services, women’s services, children’s services, women’s prisons, youth justice etc. why keep repeating our current approach? neoliberalism (DFV industry $), the birth of the clinic, patriarchy. Let’s invest in community not huge NGO$
