It's the #16Days of activism against gender based violence.
According to our research:
🟠1 in 5 young women aged 18-25 have been subjected to abuse by a current male partner or ex.
🟠For the majority of young women, the abuse took place before they turned 18.

Our thoughts are with Aisling's family and friends today.
"That this could happen tapped into a visceral feeling that so many girls and women are socialised to feel - that the risk of male violence is everywhere. That nowhere is safe." - Sarah Benson, CEO of @Womens_Aid
Emotional abuse against young women is common.
Examples include:
🚩Calling you names
🚩Criticising you and putting you down
🚩Demanding to know where you are all the time
🚩Threatening to hurt themselves or you
