Introduction

This is a critical condition of domestic violence against women in Australia. An award-winning journalist Sarah Ferguson is investigating the case of hitting home one. Police and Journalists are helping women from violence of their national crisis. It is a case of Wendy and her ex-husband on basis of hitting violence. Wendy expected from husband and children. In this case, some questions have to provide answers according to questions. Moreover, the case is running or closed to identify and analysis. Apart from that, I have to imagine that I am a social worker and have to support Wendy's clients about this case.

Q1

One day she was in kitchen and her two children went to school. Ex-husband came into house, lifted his hand, and smashed into Wendy's face. She fell to ground, woke up, and ran to telephone line. She dialed police station and told everything about her ex-husband abusing her. Behind her ex-husband telling her what are you doing just stop calling otherwise he will be beaten repeatedly. Ex-husband came and told Wendy that he will take their children from school besides that he also abused and violence on Wendy (Fulu & Miedema, 2015). Wendy and her kids ran into a car and her ex-husband came and tried to get in a car and tell her to let him in (Easteal, Young, & Carline, 2018).

One morning the situation was out of control, again her ex-husband came and forced her to wake up and thrashed into a car and she has given him money not to fight still her ex-husband is killing her and drove on road. Wendy requested him to stop a car but her ex-husband said cannot stop car, if you want to be out of car then you have to jump. Therefore, at last, she jumped into a car and fractured her skull. After all, of these, Wendy took her children and moved to a refugee home. However, many cases are coming from Australia at that time, women are abused and violence against their partners or husbands. It was very difficult for police and journalists to report each case. Moreover, in this case, Sarah Ferguson investigated it. She collected evidence and submitted reports to court.

Q2

She never thought of separating from her ex-husband but somehow day-by-day situation is being very worst for her as well as their children. She always wanted her child to have dad around. Therefore, situation is becoming worse day by day and she moved with two children one age is five old and another is nine old, into a refugee house to protect herself and children from her ex-husband. She ran into a long abusive relationship with a girl's father, they separated with her husband because she was scared of screaming (Danis & Bhandari, 2010). There are 28 children in refuge homes, and most of them know camera is being set up into their respective homes and security lights. Wendy's children also need to stay with their mother and children are scared about some noise such as cops and other things like crying because children were too young.

A refugee is a place that is the first step to stand against violence. Although from there, a case has been generated to court and court will finalize victim according to their journalist or lawyer evidence. She finds a place where she can live as a rebel, stay and calm without any disturbance or violence from her ex-husband (Francia, Millear, & Sharman, 2019). It was a pathetic situation for a woman to stay with him and characteristics and behavior of a husband in one house. There can be anything that happens between them such as sexual harassment, violence, and been murder. Australia's conditions were phasing badly through women, everyday cases have generated like these. There only a refuge house where women can protect themselves from violence and harassment (Morley & Dunstan, 2016).

Q3

The common and typical thing about this experience of partner violence is that in case violence and harassment happens. Husbands beat up their wife and took children from them. In some of Bella's cases, 100km north of Sydney, cameras are set up in street as well as outside of house. From Wendy's case, five months earlier, Bella's husband bangs on the door and enters into house and her husband takes her phone. Before marriage, Bella's husband knows about wife's ex-boyfriend and Bella beats her husband up four to five times. Husbands are beaten four to five times because her husband gets jealous, her husband also kicks Bella, and she falls to the ground (Lockhart & Danis, 2016).

After a couple of months, she gets pregnant, her husband comes and apologizes to her then they get married. After two years of marriage and having two years of child, she went to his mother's house. After she left, the husband came into house with bags of toys for a child. Her husband was brutally abused to Wendy and beat her eyes, nose, and spots are fixed into back of eras. In every case, it is found that husbands are brutally abusive, harassed, and violence to their wife and children (Meyer, Reeves, & Fitz‐Gibbon, 2021).

Moreover, same situation is happening with cases of Wendy. Husbands are brutally abused and harassed. Sarah Ferguson is collecting data and evidence of violence cases in Australia. She helps and protects women and their children from their husbands. Police also protect Australian women to set up their cameras in street and every house and there are security lights for helping people.

Q4

A factor of intimate partner-violence in Wendy's case is that she was cooking in her kitchen and that her ex-husband came and lifted his hand and smashed she in her face and she felt. She called police ex-husband ran away before running away ex-husband told her that he would take children from school. However, she still did not think about situation that happened on the last day but on another morning situation was out of control. Husband came in morning and threatened Wendy to wake up and then Wendy gave her money to stop this type of violence with her and their children, anyhow ex-husband did not bother about it and thrashed Wendy into a car. Ex-husband drive car with Wendy and she did not go with her. She was trying to escape from car and saying to her ex-husband to stop a car but her ex-husband did not care about it and saying to her to jump from car there are no ways to stop car.

Without thinking too much Wendy jump from car and were fractured in her skull. However, at that moment she had decided to separate. Before that, she never thought about leaving because she believed that a background family is important to her and she wanted that her child could have a dad around. She moved to a refugee home and filed a case against her ex-husband. Therefore, from refugee house, she drops children to school and one day she visits a doctor's clinic for an x-ray, she has a brain scan that day she felt from a car (Poulsen, 2018).

Q5

Although, if I were a social worker in sexual violence and domestic violence and client of Wendy. Then, I would prefer to case a violence file against husband and as well as divorce file. Firstly, I would investigate both sides of a case, then evaluate, identify analysis and capture case file, and then collect strong evidence for a victim. Social workers have to collect true information about what is happening in a case without supporting or judging one side of clients is not problem solving (Pease et al. 2016). Therefore, after knowing case study that Wendy is an innocent girl and having two kids but her x-husband was badly brutally with her. First thing I will refer to her is that file a complaint case against an ex-husband in a police station and moved to a refugee house with two kids. It has been saved from her side without violence and harassment by her ex-husband.

Refugee is a safe place for women who are against violence and harassment from their physical problems. It is a first step to complain and against domestic violence and sexual violence. Moreover, I might offer Wendy to stay strong and not to worry about what happens and be strong, and she has faced in last few couples of month, tell everything in court. Therefore, if further anything or something will happen then Wendy can appeal for divorce and safety from her ex-husband (Wilsonet al. 2017).

Conclusion

It can be concluded that last few months were critical for Australia to stop violence, harassment, and sexual violence. An award-winning journalist Sarah Ferguson is investigating the case of hitting home one. She spent five months and collected information on three cases that Wendy's case has been mentioned over here little bit Bella case has mentioned for some same cases that have happened in Australia. Many cases are found in Australia that husbands were brutally beaten to their wives and took their children. Wendys has been moved to a refugee house to protect herself from her ex-husband and it is first place to take steps against violence.
