'Passion around Violence against Women': Billi Clarke and the Victorian Domestic Violence Services Movement
Jacqui Theobald
Abstract
Billi Clarke is a staunch advocate for women and their right to live free from violence. This paper examines Clarke’s leadership within the context of the Victorian domestic violence services movement. In addition to working within a range of domestic violence services for more than twenty years, Clarke has initiated new directions for the sector by means of establishing innovative services, and radicalising the practice of existing ones, in part with the aim of improving service responses for women with diverse subjectivities and requirements.
