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.

So jealous of the election official who got to turn Johnson away for having no ID. The joy that would swell in your soul when you realised he had none.
Director Mstyslav Chernov accepts the Best Documentary Feature Oscar for 20 Days In Mariupol: “This is the first Oscar in Ukrainian history. And I’m honoured. But probably I’ll be the first director on this stage who will say, 'I wish I never made this film'. I wish I could exchange this for Russia never attacking Ukraine, never occupying our cities."
"I cannot change the history, I cannot change the past. But all together – among you, some of the most talented people in the world – we can make sure the record is set straight, and the truth will prevail. And that the people of Mariupol and those who have given their lives will never be forgotten. Cinema forms memories, and memories form history.”

The thing that's most shocking about Phillip Schofield leaving This Morning is that THE GOVERNMENT'S NEW ANTI-PROTEST LAWS GIVE THE POLICE POWERS TO SHUT DOWN PROTESTS BEFORE THEY EVEN HAPPEN.
So next year is the 50th anniversary of abba winning eurovision with Waterloo… and the jurors gave Sweden double the points of the 2nd place country…Finland were robbed #Eurovision2023
It's a good time to remember that the Chairman of the BBC is Richard Sharp, someone who's donated £400,000+ to the Conservatives and helped Boris Johnson with an £800,000 loan.
Let's remember that when they talk about BBC "impartiality".
PLT held an International Women’s Day event today in London.
Yet again using this day to fake empowerment and support of women, whilst still exploiting thousands of women who make their clothes.
