This is a significant development!

Employers are being urged to provide flexible work hours and counselling in a new report that links domestic violence as a workplace issue. The report titled Playing Our part: Workplace Responses to Domestic and Family Violence, was launched on Friday in Sydney, Australia. The report — supported by high profile community leaders dubbed the "Male Champions of Change" — estimated 800,000 women in the paid workforce were living in an abusive relationship or had done so in the past.
