Spoke to this brave domestic abuse survivor who has slammed the justice system after her recently jailed attacker will walk free in just 2 months time.

HSE worker Anthony Mackessy took Emma Hallahan to murder sites and eventually held her at knifepoint: https://t.co/GfBuH7VPLD

What a humbling afternoon listening to the phenomenal @betsycornwell share her story with @liadanhynes today! One person in the audience complained that it was ONLY 30 minutes listening to Betsy as she could have listened all day! Betsy’s book #Ringofsalt is a must read!!!

@BarryJGeraghty I’m so sorry to hear or Edward’s passing, he gave us such wonderful times, as did you @BarryGeraghty with Skys the Limit. My sincere condolences to all his family

I’m immensely proud of the fantastic work done by Ciara & the Solas Óg team. Our schools programme provides a safe environment for young people to critically think about their relationships, how they show up in relationships and how they can support their friends. #zerotolerance

We absolutely agree that stronger laws are needed to tackle the scourge of ‘nudification’ apps.

There should be equivalence both culturally & in law as to how we treat sex crimes off & online. There is no such thing as a victimless or 'not real' crime

We are campaigning for domestic homicide reviews to include suicide here in NI we do not know the numbers of women who have died by suicide in NI & need to work harder to give these woman a voice the lost voices of domestic abuse

[Women's Aid @womensaid]

Social media is being used as a weapon to endanger women and girls, and platforms cannot be left to mark their own homework; we need strong state regulations to protect everyone from online harm, especially women, children, and young people. https://t.co/UC0XHhlOYF

@LBCNews Please tell your newsroom to stop referring to the murder as 'a row over a Teddy bear'. It was domestic violence triggered by his ex leaving him.

[Courts News Ireland @courtsnewsIRL]

A man who engaged in a prolonged campaign of coercive control and violence against his partner, forcing her to keep a doorbell camera on her so he could monitor her at all times, has been jailed for five years.

Until he went into custody today, the man had weekly access to his two children with the woman, who queried in her victim impact statement why there was no link between family and criminal courts with regards to decisions on child custody.

I really hope that all politicians get as exercised about children’s rights over the next 5 years as they did about their jobs and their speaking rights today.
