A gift from my mum on the day I joined @ASPolice family.

@IanWilliams777 @DrJessTaylor Vile reply.

I bet every time you’ve victim blamed a woman and said, ‘why didn’t she just leave?’

You hadn’t considered ‘incase he ties up her and her family and kills them all with a crossbow’, as one of the options.

We know for most women, the most dangerous moment in abuse is when they try to leave. You are most likely to be seriously attacked or killed as you leave, or just after you leave.

That was certainly true for me. Twice. One time resulted in lifelong injuries. Both resulted in police investigations and arrests. Just from choosing to end the relationship.

So next time you learn that a woman is stuck in abuse and can’t/won’t leave, maybe reserve your judgement and consider how much risk she knows she is at.

Had the pleasure of listening to @DrJessTaylor this week, totally awesome approach to misogyny and the need for learning more about this subject. Looking forward to the next 4 sessions.

[Ruth @Ruthburrows45]

@DrJessTaylor Loving the sessions Jess, you really support challengeing myths and allowing growth of knowledge amongst us. @LucyGoBag you two would get on so well!

@DMTWestEnd we are gutted that we missed the incredible @tomhanks this evening. Sadly, due to train disruption ( it was way more than thaaat, there were none ).
@tomhanks thank you for Otto, he changed the way I look at life after bereavement xx

@PetronellaWyatt @PetronellaWyatt why the criticism of her clothes? She looks professional and certainly does not need sleeves to do her job!

[Ruth @Ruthburrows45]
