The key role of social workers working on domestic violence, located in Police stations is :

  • A.To ensure justice for the woman through filing a criminal complaint against the husband
  • B.To work with the violated woman to help her separate from her violent husband
  • C.To ensure that the violent husband is taught a lesson
  • D.To work with the violated woman to ensure her safety and stop violence

Answer: D

The key role is to work with the violated woman to ensure her safety and stop violence.

Social workers placed in police stations, as in the special cells for women and children, work with the survivor on her own terms: safety planning, counselling, access to shelter, legal aid and protection orders, and steps to end the violence, while respecting her choices.

Filing a criminal case or helping her separate may follow if she chooses, but neither is the worker's goal in itself. 'Teaching the husband a lesson' is punitive and outside the professional role.
