Wondering why this is not getting more attention, or being treated more seriously https://www.three.fm/news/coronavirus/145-increase-in-domestic-abuse-calls/
Just seen this after being highly irritated by comments by Isle of Man Constabulary suggesting that lockdown is causing DA and issuing this advice to abusers: "Please be reminded that domestic abuse is unacceptable in any situation, no matter what stresses you are under."
Domestic abuse is always a choice a perpetrator makes – isolation is not an excuse for abuse. Share if you agree.
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/
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

Agree totally with David Challen and Judith. All the media need to take a long hard look at the way they report DA, so much victim blaming and minimalization is pandering to the abuser and perpetuating myths
Disgusting to see @BBCNews repeatedly creating horrific headlines to killings that involve abuse.
‘Chip shop death: Geoffrey Bran cleared of murdering wife’
Earlier this year they reported on my mother being the ‘Hammer killer wife’...
Love to speak the news editor about this. https://twitter.com/judith_vickress/status/1196843512232316930

Excellent example of victim blaming in the press and why journalists need to rethink the language they use
We are going to be organising an event for journalists on reporting violence against women and girls in early 2020 - worth noting there are standards on reporting #VAWG available here: https://www.nuj.org.uk/documents/nuj-guidelines-on-violence-against-women/nuj-guidelines-for-journalists-on-violence-against-women.pdf https://twitter.com/WelshWomensAid/status/1194316432282128384
Recently attended Rachel's SUTDA Survivors Conference in South Wales an inspiring speaker and campaigner:
RT @ukhomeoffice: After Rachel (@Dontlookback198) filed for divorce in 2011, her husband shot her in the leg. He later killed himself. Listen to Rachel’s story and why she’s campaigning for men and women who suffer #DomesticAbuse.
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/

Please consider signing this important petition
As the public, we can challenge an unduly lenient sentence for serious fraud. But we can't challenge the same for coercive control. This petition is to ensure the public can challenge unduly lenient sentences for coercive control. Please consider signing. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/264830
It is really important we recognise the impact of DA on work and the workplace. This is why we want to educate workplaces to recognise signs, ask the question and know how to support colleagues and keep workplaces safe.
The hold perpetrators have on your life. My perpetrator even controlled my working environment

#DomesticAbuse #CoerciveControl
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.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/jun/08/my-mother-sally-challen-killed-my-father-finally-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.
