Campaign Against Domestic Violence

This article is about Domestic violence in the United Kingdom. For other related topics, see Outline of domestic violence.

The Campaign Against Domestic Violence (CADV) was founded in 1991 to fight for better resources to deal with domestic violence, to promote awareness of domestic violence, campaign for legal change and to raise domestic violence as a workplace issue.[1]

The campaign was launched by members of Militant to fight against proposals that later became the Child Support Act (1993)[2] and attracted support from five trade unions and various trade union branches including Tower NUM.[3]

The campaign organised public conferences of supporters of up to 500 people.[4] as well as protests outside prisons where women have been jailed for violence when fighting against domestic violence.
