As we focus more on consent and the rights of women, law on violence is evolving. Great news today that filming a partner without their consent has been ruled a criminal offence.

There’s only one person responsible for #domesticabuse: the perpetrator. Yet less than 1% of perpetrators currently receive an intervention to challenge or change their behaviour. We’re proud to be backing a call on the government to publish a #PerpetratorStrategy #StopThisAbuse

[David Challen @David_Challen]

Two women a week die at the hands of a partner or ex-partner. Yet less than 1% of perpetrators currently receive an intervention to challenge or change their behaviour. We’re urgently calling on @ukhomeoffice to publish a #PerpetratorStrategy.
