New AIC Publication: Research conducted for the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability reveals that

Women with a restrictive long-term health condition were more likely to experience physical or sexual violence and/or coercive control in the three months prior to the survey than women who did not have a long-term health condition.
Relative to the rest of the female population, women with a restrictive long-term health condition were also more likely to report the onset of violence or coercive control.
The violence they experienced typically increased in frequency or severity compared with the six-month period prior to February 2020.

The report is available for free download on the AIC website: https://www.aic.gov.au/publications/sr/sr32
