What an excellent resource!  A couple comments, it is more about addressing
violence then preventing, I wondered about this statement and if this is
supported in the literature:

"For some men pregnancy represents a loss of control and power over the
woman and leads to the initiation or escalation of violence. "

The Ontario Women's Directorate coordinated some strategies to address
violence against women in all sectors (health, education, justice, and
police) between 1991 and 1995, I seem to recall that they had a resource
centre and when they funded a group demanded that they give OWD 10 copies
of any resources produced.

Hope this helps,

S
