Summary: "As older women and sociologists, we ask these questions, how can we ensure older women voices are heard and expose the violence against them in the home? Why is there a h︣idden problem ỏf violence against older women? Have policy responses been inadequate because of mistaken theorising about e︣lder abuse?̉ Why have older women, compared with younger women, not previously been empowered to deal with their problem? We expect this to be a long-term project, although the outcomes of the project thus far have provided answers to some of the above questions." -- p. 5.
