#IsThisOK?

12 August 2021: Kate Shepherd, 66, was shot dead by Jake Davison, 22, in Plymouth. Davison killed four other people (his mother Maxine Davison/Chapman, Sophie Martyn, Lee Martyn, Stephen Washington) before killing himself.

7 August 2021: Megan Newborough, 23, is thought to have been killed before being found dead the following day in a country lane in Leicestershire. Ross Macullam, 29, has been charged with rape and murder.

It’s easy to get swept up in relationships, so how do young people decide what is and isn’t OK? We & young people have co-created the #IsItOk? campaign to understand toxic behaviours in young people’s relationships. Please share the survey with those in your life aged 11-25

Important and clear advice for everyone concerned someone is at risk of abuse #NoExcuseForAbuse https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a32154739/help-friend-domestic-abusive-relationship/

Can we get this to @Carole_King ?

#YouAreNotAlone #WeAreStrongerTogether

Such a disappointing, minimising and ill informed comment by our Chief Constable, highlighting the need for education, awareness and training on the Isle of Man

1 in 5 children experience domestic abuse growing up, yet only some of them will have access to specialist support for children and young people. This is unacceptable. On #UniversalChildrensDay let's call for future MPs to pledge to #Invest2EndAbuse so no child is left behind.

Since Natalie Connolly was killed, these 12 other UK women and girls have been killed by men who claimed they consented to the violence.

They are among 59 women killed since 1972, and many more injured.

Light sentencing sends a dangerous message to perpetrators and makes our communities less safe. We owe it to the women who have lost their lives, and their families, to ensure that all perpetrators face the full force of the law. https://www.expressandstar.com/news/crime/2019/11/13/millionaire-who-left-girlfriend-to-die-to-appeal-lenient-sentence/

Contrast in coverage of court case into the death of Mavis Bran - survivors in abusive relationships will be reading these stories, we need the media to clearly send a message of what #DomesticAbuse is & not perpetuate #victimblaming - Support available @LiveFearFree 08088010800

My mother, Sally Challen, was branded a cold-blooded killer. At last, she has justice.

The fact that society is ahead of the CPS in understanding domestic violence is a damaging indictment of the criminal justice system.

My comment for The Observer.

No one can understand what I’ve been through to get to this point.

Mother and son separated for 9 years reunited and seeing justice.

Great work by the @StalkingUnit

Dave echoes the words I say on my #stalking training. Victims wake up wondering how they're going to keep themselves safe that day. They're so fearful they can't think past that day. Professionals need to understand this.
