I think taking it one step further, what came to mind for me, when you just read that out, was the definition of spousal abuse. My perception of spousal abuse, as a born and bred Canadian, is different from somebody's perception of spousal abuse when they may come from a country where it is not considered abuse to hit your wife, or it is not considered abuse to use physical violence in order to discipline your children.
One of the suggestions that actually one of our team members came up with was why isn't there some sort of declaration out there? I said to them that there most likely is a declaration, but is it in the language that people can understand? It's not just the language of literal translation, verbatim; it's the language that defines what is spousal abuse. Can you physically take your hand and put it to another person's body?
That would be my suggestion as the first place to start on that.
