"The Shocking Rise of Women Dying by Suicide After Domestic Abuse".
'According to @RefugeCharity, an estimated three women a week die by suicide following domestic abuse, with appalling figures showing that the number of victims taking their own lives has now overtaken those being killed by their tormentors. Closer Magazine investigates these shocking figures and talks to campaigner Phyllis Dale, who lost her daughter Jessica in 2022...'

We stand by Jess Philip! @IKWRO@jessphillips @HeatherFFS & David_Challen
I would like suggesting Ellen Musk, try to ban child marriage, which is child abuse, in the USA
Survivors of the Telford abuse scandal have criticised Elon Musk’s attack on Jess Phillips, stating she has “devoted her life to fighting for women and girls.”
In a letter shared with the Guardian the seven women, including three survivors of the Telford sexual abuse scandal, came to the Labour MP’s defence and said that there was “no one in public life who has done more to support victims and survivors and to advocate for their interests”.
The other four signatories – Julie Devey, Carole Gould, Emma Ambler and Nour Norris – have lost a female relative to gender-based violence or have suffered domestic abuse.
In their response to Musk, coordinated by the campaign group @KilledWomennw, the women said that those who “weaponise our pain for their own ends or political gain” should “hang their heads in shame”.
“We write as victims of extreme male violence,” the letter said. “What connects us all beyond our shared trauma is the support and kindness we have received from Jess Phillips over many years, personally and as activists fighting for change.
“We know there are those who would weaponise our pain for their own ends or political gain; who speak out with new-found interest, not to tackle the horrendous crimes that stole so much from us, but to further their own agenda. They should hang their heads in shame.
“As campaigners and activists, we fight every day to stop what happened to us or our loved ones happening to anyone else. We stand by Jess, knowing she has devoted her life to fighting for women and girls.”

@DrProudman, I very much agree with your comment and I think that Elon Musk should be more careful in his comments including targeting Jass Philip as she has been a devoted women. I very much like to suggesting him to ban child marriage as a form of child abuse, in the USA.
"There is no justice or judiciary in #Afghanistan," Nadir says, "no prosecution. The Taliban don't even agree on the hijab rules for women. What is wrong and what is right depends on the group and the locality."
