As university covid cases skyrocket, universities who switch to remote learning must still support students who are vulnerable to sexual assault and domestic abuse, as @SolaceWomensAid reported way back in August. #UniversityLockdown #SAFEReadsSunday

We have the opportunity to make threatening to share intimate images a crime – but we need your help! Use our tool to send an email to Ministers, and let them know the #DomesticAbuseBill must empower women and end #TheNakedThreat: https://t.co/XTMuZ4OHSx

"Money doesn’t make you happy but without money, there’s nowhere to go. That’s why, for me, economic abuse is the greatest form of control."

Financial insecurity can make women more vulnerable to abuse. Support for survivors of domestic abuse must be socially-minded, intersectional, and complete. We must not put women (or other vulnerable groups) at further risk.

It's important to be able to recognise the common signs that you or someone you know may be experiencing trauma, which could be caused by abuse. If you're worried, why not contact SAFE on [email protected].

We must fix this!

Shockingly, no #DomesticAbuse data has been collected from people aged over 74.

📣 Today, on #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons, we are calling on the Government to fix the blind spot in the #DABill: https://t.co/qZHo5wWs0R

We are thinking about survivors on this #NationalPoetryDay and at the beginning of #BlackHistoryMonth.

Still, like dust, we rise.

When 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men will experience abuse, it's important to look out for your friends and family. If you or someone you know has experienced domestic abuse in the past, SAFE can help.

In order to recognise and help prevent coercive control, it's crucial that financial services staff are trained in the dynamics of domestic violence and have a better understanding of how economic abuse is used to control intimate partners.

This week's #SAFEReadsSunday from @Independent. Economic abuse is only just being recognised as a form of abuse and there is much work still to be done.
