@jessradio All the best @jessradio, will be thinking of you.

Through inaction, we become enablers; we all have a role in preventing violence against women.

"#EconomicAbuse is really pervasive where family violence is present. It's one tactic to manifest power & control over someone else. The pandemic is being used to justify their controlling behaviours," @AliVMacdonald @dvvic #coercivecontrol https://t.co/smOLPlcEWf @stewart_emily

Family violence is never okay. Times of stress and hardship are never and excuse for violence. All people deserve to live free from fear. #YouAreNotAlone #FamilyViolence
