If you haven't watched 'Lover, Liar, Predator' on iplayer, here's one of the four women who brought a serial rapist to justice talking about how the @OwnMyLifeCourse she went on was instrumental in her realising she'd been raped & coercively controlled https://t.co/fE1OG3jdJt

Today we are celebrating Naomi.

We can learn so much from Naomi’s story of resistance to her husband’s abuse of her. Small (& large!) acts of defiance help women know they still matter.

We think Naomi is an absolute powerhouse!

Today we’re celebrating Clara!

In this episode, Clara talks about the steps she took to own her life:

⏳time to realise her partner was abusive
🫂people who would support her unconditionally
✒️embracing creativity
❤️‍🔥realising she really is enough!

Only abusers are interested losing control.

While both Teddy Swims and @hm are probably onboard with stopping men’s abuse of women, it is unfortunate that their collab hoodie normalises the ways abusive men justify controlling women.
