ABSTRACT

The sentiments ‘it’s just good business’ and ‘it’s the right thing to do’ are commonly heard when discussing workplace domestic violence provisions. These two statements represent two divergent ways of theorising the relationship between domestic violence and work. Crucially, these alternate theories shape how domestic violence and work are discussed, who takes responsibility for domestic violence in and through the workplace and access to, and equality of support, victims receive from their workplaces. This research insight delves into the current theorising of the relationship between domestic violence and work, focusing on the business case, feminist perspectives, and a decolonial approach. Each subsequent theory layers and gives us a strong idea of where we are now with theorising and where we could go next in order to improve outcomes for victims in and through the workplace.

摘要

在讨论工作场所家庭暴力条款时，经常会听到“这只是一桩好事”和“这是正确的做法”的观点。这两种说法代表了对家庭暴力与工作之间关系进行理论化的两种不同方式。至关重要的是，这些替代理论塑造了家庭暴力和工作的讨论方式，谁对工作场所内和通过工作场所的家庭暴力负责，以及受害者从工作场所获得的支持以及平等的支持。这项研究深入探讨了当前家庭暴力与工作之间关系的理论，重点关注商业案例、女权主义观点和非殖民化方法。
