We were proud to support Killed Women yesterday in their event to mark a year since their launch.
Each sign represents one of 108 women killed in circumstances in which a man is the principal suspect in the UK in the last 12 months.
Yesterday our team led the APPG briefing on #16Days OfActivism , hosted by the APPG Chair Dame Maria Miller MP.
Now we’re into the final push of #16Days , there’s #NoExcuse to let slip! See our bio to UNiTE with us to #OrangeTheWorld and end all gender-based violence.
Research from Domestic Abuse Commissioner reveals that 89% of Domestic Homicide Reviews reported prior domestic abuse, showing that vital lessons to prevent future deaths aren't being actioned.
The launch of a national oversight mechanism to hold agencies to account is welcome and needed.
43.5% of domestic abuse survivors had used technology to connect with other survivors and share experience.
Technology has huge potential for good and can help empower and connect.
