Ms Ricky Hunter is offering workshops for those working in the domestic violence industry. Her attached flyer starts out describing domestic violence and her workshop in gender neutral terms but goes on to
describe the “major workshop topics” as follows:

Intimate partner abuse/ intimate partner sexual violence”¦ what’s the difference?
Long term health outcomes for women who suffer domestic violence
Harmful traditional practices that affect women
Let’s get real about violence and abuse in Australia and globally
Learn how to be to be less judgmental with DV clients
Why doesn’t she just leave?
Labels of disempowerment verses empowering labels
Resistance, how, when and where?
Pregnancy coercion and sabotage, and its implications in violent relationships
Why don’t doctors ask and why don’t women tell?
Hindsight bias thinking and how it can affect the road to recovery
What is the answer to “The Big Why?’ Why me?
What is the established relationship between animal abuse and domestic abuse”¦ this knowledge can and does save lives
Unique challenges faced by rural battered women
Strategies to use to empower the women we work with

And her workshop goals include:

To assist delegates to intimately understand how a survivor feels, how we can nurture and companion her on her road to recovery

Below is her invitation to the workshop. Perhaps someone might like to attend, or a group might like to protest outside it, or people might like to send her emails to express outrage about her vile stereotyping of men and discrimination against male victims.

We are seeking expressions of interest from individuals to attend a special
one-day workshop to be presented in Auckland July 2011

Intimate Partner Abuse & Intimate Partner Sexual Violence and introducing
Executive State Identification ESIR in working with DV survivors

Who should attend? Experienced health professionals including, GP’s,
counsellors, psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers, school
counsellors, pastors, family support workers, uni students, telephone
counsellors, workers and advocates in the field of domestic violence and
sexual assault.

This is a unique one-of-a-kind workshop. Ricky explores at a deep personal
level what is means to be a survivor of (IPA) intimate partner abuse, (IPSV)
intimate partner sexual violence, and torture as she exposes the labels of
disempowerment and illegitimate shame.

Learn how to utilise Ricky’s “recovery gems” with the people we work with.
Ricky’s book, a powerful document is being used by survivors and health
professionals in the therapeutic setting and with significant impact in
men’s groups. Drawing from her secular experience in her professional life,
single journeywoman Ricky Hunter developed her Project Plan to Empowerment
document when used under strict medical supervision, can be a valuable tool
to healing. Attending delegates will workshop the Project Plan to
Empowerment and receive their own personal templates including river mapping
for clients that have special needs.

Taking into consideration the major issues faced by women who are abused
(57% in their lifetime in Australia) these workshops successfully shed more
light on the following complex questions;

(a) What is Intimate Partner Abuse and Intimate Partner Sexual Violence and
its long term health outcomes?

(b) Why don’t women in abusive situations just leave?

(c) What is the answer to ‘The Big Why?’ Why me?

(d) What is the relationship between illegitimate shame and abuse?

(e) What is the relationship between animal abuse and domestic abuse?
