You were subjected to years of abuse & post-separation abuse
You were subjected to people & institutions letting you down & saying & doing very harmful things many times
These things take a huge toll
You are amazing for surviving in any way
Well done 🫶👏💐

Currently, there is no statutory requirement for individuals working in sports organisations to report known or suspected child sexual or physical abuse in the U.K.
That’s why we’re calling for Mandatory Reporting of Sexual Abuse & Misconduct.

It does a huge disservice to all those pictured and their own personal stories, and is unacceptable. Domestic abuse and those who have survive it are no one's symbolism. 2/2
Anyone can be a victim of domestic abuse. The ‘I Am …’ exhibition is about survivors sharing their voices and the exhibition should not have been misappropriated by anyone trying to make a political point. 1/2
Be a voice because:
It's important to raise awareness on the issues of domestic and emotional abuse
It's important to listen, address and support the needs of survivors and their families
Domestic abuse is unacceptable
We all have a part to play in ending domestic abuse...
Domestic abuse!! I will continue to make people aware I am no longer ashamed or embarrassed about what happened to me. I am ashamed and embarrassed for him and one day I know he will get his time. #DomesticAbuse @dviolenceuk
