Abstract

The final chapter briefly sums up the book and the achievements that have been made in challenging domestic violence, even though there is still so far to go. It includes a quote from esteemed elder in the movement, Jalna Hanmer. Describing the movement against violence against women as building a tapestry to which groups, services and activists contribute (a metaphor originally developed by Liz Kelly), the book ends with a call for us all to add our shining threads to this tapestry.
