This chapter examines how indigenous and non-Indigenous women view their futures after domestic and family violence and seeks to explain the divergence between the two. The author uses their extensive field experience in domestic and family violence, coupled with literature, to highlight their growing concern that mainstream domestic and family violence programmes and policies benefit non-Indigenous women differently to Indigenous women. One reasons for this was that both parties had different needs and sought different results in times of domestic violence, largely as a result of their different lived experiences. One Indigenous and one non-Indigenous task force were compiled to uncover key ideas regarding justice strategies and ways to deal with family and domestic violence. The relationship of Indigenous women to the State is explored as it the role of the mainstream feminist movement and their perspectives on family violence. Critiques of this feminist movement as well as the applicability of restorative justice are provided, as are overviews of domestic violence within Australia.
