The scale of the #VAWG emergency is even more alarming when you consider that so many survivors don't report their experiences to the police. Without meaningful collaboration & action, women & children will continue to be failed. Read our full response at: womensaid.org.uk/womens-aid-…
🧵Our national policing statement published today has outlined the scale of the threat posed by violence against women and girls (VAWG), with 3,000 offences recorded every day in England and Wales, accounting for 20% of all police recorded crime.

The biggest fear for tonight’s England match is not getting through to the finals right? Wrong. For many it’s a fear of them not making it through themselves! While football doesn't cause domestic abuse it can make existing abuse more severe. Donate here: bit.ly/WomensAidEuros

Please share this link with journalists & editors, at Women’s Aid we run workshops on our media guidelines on reporting domestic abuse, which you can download here. There is also a link to the @we_level_up guidelines on reporting domestic homicides. womensaid.org.uk/about-us/pr…
Can we once and for all dispense with this tedious "But he always took the bins out and said hello" commentary, as if there was a contradiction here that needed explaining. Violent men ARE "nice guys". They're nice to everyone but the women they abuse. That's the whole point.

Very much enjoyed reading Jonathan Sawday's latest: on blanks, gaps, voids in printed texts
'Reading is more a process of filling in the blanks than of confronting what’s “really” there on the page.' Georgina Wilson (@GeorginaEMW) on filling in the blanks of early modern literature the-tls.co.uk/literature/lit…

With a new Labour government in power, it's crucial that we prioritise the safety and wellbeing of women and girls. Here’s just a few of the things Women’s Aid want to see from our new government. It's time for decisive action. Together, let's build a safer future for all.

Today marks 4 years since the Government published the Harm Panel Report, yet domestic abuse remains misunderstood across the family courts. We’re calling on the next government to implement full reforms of the family courts as part of a whole-system response to abuse.
