Investigating cases of domestic abuse should NEVER have a time limit. This is an archaic and dark ages practice that helps give immunity to powerful men, so long as they suppress evidence of abuse and victim’s voices for long enough.

Laws should help victims, not perpetrators.

Relationships & sex education is the cornerstone of preventing violence against women and girls!

If it arrives too late, another generation will be failed.

Government must listen to young people, the realities of their lives, and what they want and need!
