There has been a great deal of recent discussion about violence in Indigenous communities. It is stated that violence is widespread within Indigenous communities, and is disproportionately high in comparison to non-Indigenous violence. This article explores difficulties that face Indigenous women of Cape York trying to access legal, social and educational support in relation to family violence. Difficulties such as limited resources, pressure from perpetrators, and the lack of direct contact with legal and support services contribute to the greater inaccessibility of justice for Indigenous women in Cape York. This in turn creates a sense of ‘re-victimisation’ where victims of violence become further oppressed and disadvantaged due to the factors outlined above.
