Doctors behind a new group campaigning against domestic violence say they are being targeted with hate mail and threats designed to silence them.

Doctors Against Violence Towards Women was launched this year, following the death of Sydney dentist Dr Preethi Reddy, allegedly killed by her ex-boyfriend, who was found dead before Dr Reddy’s body was discovered in the boot of her car.
