@DogsTrust The Freedom Project is completely free to use, and the moment you are safe & able, your beloved pet will be returned to you💛

For cat owners, we are aware @CatsProtection run a similar service 💜
Violent men will find any weapon they can to exact the harm they wish to inflict on women, and whilst I support moves to restrict access to crossbows, the focus must be on the escalating acts of abuse preceding murder. Namely coercive control, for which there is a 3.6% charge rate for and 0.01% of offences recorded result in conviction!

As a child bereaved by fatal domestic abuse, headlines calling a man who killed three women a “nice guy” and “normal person” have felt personally traumatic.
The media called my father a “gentle man” and “nice chap”, which misrepresented the controlling reality that myself and my family experienced for years. It compounded our trauma.
Reporting like this causes so much damage – both to victims’ families, and to public understandings of coercive control. It has to stop. Now.
We need every single newsroom trained in how to report domestic abuse deaths, and to lobby the regulator for stronger rules. The press has the power to prevent further deaths and save women’s lives.
Please support this crowdfunder I’ve started to support @we_level_up’s crucial work to train journalists in their Dignity For Dead Women guidelines.
This takes all of us ➡️ https://t.co/iPJGFUs7Qn
@jessphillips Shouldnt even be allowed on back benches. Anyone who brings the houses into disrepute should be out of the commons/lords. Mind you wouldn't be many left in that case
Had a recent #BreakUp? From location settings to emails and social media accounts technology is increasingly being used as a form of abuse. Make sure your accounts are protected https://t.co/hqvZzv5wRD
@KileyDunbar just read One Summers Night. Loved it! Thank you for introducing me to the world of Shakespeare, Kelsey and Jonathan and to the possibilities we can all find in life if we only take a chance. Inspired to believe in me
