As Justdisguy said this is an ongoing thing. Often the father's or brother's of the women who are in a situation like this think that this kind of treatment is normal. Also the women will do ANYTHING to hide it because a big part of the cycle is the abuser brainwashes the victim into thinking THEY are at fault. Guilt causes these women to hide. I think something like this can put their situation into a setting where it will seem to them like something is wrong. They will have to realize "Hey, he WOULDN'T do this at my work. Why should I tolerate it here?"

As I said before - I'd air it and I wouldn't freak if my 4 yr old daughter saw it. I don't know if I'd purposely bring her in to see it but if it happened I wouldn't be upset about it. She can handle it.
