New research reveals a dramatic rise in women disclosing family violence at work, thanks to a landmark law granting paid leave and flexible work — now used by nearly 34% of victims since its 2016 rollout. Workplace support isn’t just about paychecks; it’s a lifeline offering safety, dignity, and community. Sixty-two percent of women now feel safer after their employer responds — up from 42% — largely due to confidentiality and perpetrator exclusion. Yet, many still don’t feel protected, exposing gaps in how workplaces validate abuse. Beyond physical harm, family violence includes financial control, stalking, and psychological abuse — often without visible proof. Experts argue victims’ disclosures alone should suffice, urging employers to train managers and update policies to eliminate judgment and shame.
