🧵1/5 We were pleased to see Standing Together Against Domestic Abuse’s (STADA) new report “Domestic abuse and the NHS: 10 ways the NHS 10-year plan can help halve violence against women and girls” featured on Channel 4 News last night. ⬇️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDNq...

To end domestic abuse we must address the root cause – the perpetrator. Until we have a comprehensive range of specialist perpetrator responses in every area, victims’ safety is at risk. Thread 👇 #DomesticAbuse

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, everything that led to the Holocaust is in danger of being forgotten. The Nazis channeled the demands of oligarchs, scapegoated minorities and replaced democracy with a new imperium. Those politics are returning. #NeverForget #NeverAgain

Very good interview from Rachel Maddow with Bishop Budde. What grace, intelligence and courage this woman has.

Three women were murdered, yet this headline names their father instead of CAROL, HANNAH and LOUISE HUNT, while reducing their killer to a 'control freak’, thus trivialising coercive control and shielding 'ordinary' men from accountability. Media must do better.

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

Reform MP James McMurdock, who claimed earlier this year he was jailed in 2006 for “pushing” his former partner, was in fact sentenced for “kicking the victim around four times,” according to court documents obtained by The Times. Men who beat women do NOT deserve a place in our Parliament.
