Funded Activity Summary

Women’s access to child support. This project seeks to address the barriers to child support that women experience and in doing so, reduce single mother and child poverty. In Australia, unpaid child support debts currently exceed $1.35 billion. Yet often women do not pursue these payments, as doing so can expose them to additional burdens and harms, such as an increased risk of violence. This project will conceptualise child support requirements as a form of women’s labour, governed by socio-technical devices. It will also compare women’s interactions with child support institutions in Australia, the UK and USA. This project seeks to make child support more accessible, thereby reducing poverty and enhancing social inclusion and cohesion.
