Fantastic news in CA 👏🏼The California legislature passed that bill, known as "Piqui's Law” aiming to protect children from abusers during custody disputes. Well done @SenSusanRubio@billessayli@AsmCottie@AsmMikeGipson@PiquisMomma & everyone involved 👏🏼 https://t.co/3FDmNdqXOX
We continue to call for a Firewall between Police and Immigration Enforcement to ensure victims and survivors with insecure immigration status can safely and securely report #victimsbill@LordsJHACom@CommissionerDA
There is no level of training, no profession, & no amount of intelligence that is guaranteed to protect someone from being targeted by a domestic abuser.
However, societies & social policies do make some people more structurally vulnerable, & abusers take advantage of that.
@DrEmmaKatz Doctor Emma,
There is no shame indeed being a victim and a Survivor of this abuse. But when the Survivor is raising it's own sword to stand for it. Nobody seems to believe me. As my relatiosnhip portrayed differently in the outside world.
Excellent news. Coercive control against an ex-partner is now covered by the coercive control law in England and Wales.
Now we need to prosecute a heck of a lot more of the high harm, intractable perpetrators.
I hope & pray this has given other victims the strength to speak out, and take the first steps towards freedom.
There is life after domestic abuse.
Life is precious, freedom is priceless.

This International Women’s Day I am dedicating to the women who spent years believing they were mentally ill, that they deserved it, that it was all their fault and that no-one would believe them or they were convinced that they were the abusers.
Because they had been gaslighted.
This is for you 💜💜💜
