DV Justice

This is a Victim/Survivor Community. Advocates & Allies Welcome & Appreciated. Support, Change, Awareness, Prevention, Exposure & Justice are the goals.

[DV Justice @voicingabuse]

What it’s like for a DV victim to come forward: fight harder than they ever thought imaginable to get “justice”, to even be believed regardless of strong evidence or not, suffer through entire process, all while living in fear of abuser and/or enablers’ reaction.

[DV Justice @voicingabuse]

Thinking of everyone in this community today. There is love and support for you here if you need it.

[Feminist Anna @annathefeminist]

Thinking of all those women treading on eggshells; not knowing what will happen this Christmas.

Lawyers will use any tactic including lying & inventing new medical theories & expertise to defend a client. There are literally zero consequences for the falsehoods they employ to convince the jury sexual assault victims are lying.

I don't do xmas. It is a major trauma anniversary due to family violence. My family is not safe. I try to manage as best I can at this time of year. Usually turn off social media & binge watch a TV show. Thinking of others whom have had a similar experience and wishing them well.

In a relationship if you fear asking for what you need & want your consent has been breeched & you are making decisions out of self protection from abuse.

@LWOKCampaign I’ll always be listening, and amplifying all of our voices and testimonies as much as I can

@revwscott Scott, thank you for doing the right thing. Congregants need to be better informed about #domesticviolence and #divorce @GGBaskerville has great info: https://t.co/06x5gS32gj

Sending solidarity to those having a tough time this Christmas.

❗️@DeptofDefense @ArmyChaplains you have GOT to stop telling couples with abuse issues to sit down together for couples counseling! It is NOT how to address physical (or any other) abuse❗️#militaryfamilyadvocacyprogramisbroken

[Julie Anne Smith @DefendTheSheep]

Pastors: please hear me. Do NOT recommend couples counseling to women who share with you they are experiencing any kind of abuse (physical, emotional, spiritual, etc.) This is not a marital issue, but an abuse issue. They both need individual therapy separately. #domesticviolence

“There are many systems that try to make me feel like I made a mortal mistake in speaking the truth: that continue to victimize women or to truncate us, or to put me on the ground to draw a chalk line around my body. That needs to change for future women." https://t.co/SpFV76xvq9

@DevilvTheDeepB1 I hear you. ❤️‍🩹💜

[Defend Survivors @defendsurvivors]

Believing a survivor is not the greatest gift you can give them - your belief they are not lying about being hurt is not a ‘gift’ it’s a basic human right. Belief should be a given. What they need is safety and for us to stand up for them and defend them.

[Jennifer Gilmour 💜🦋🏳️‍🌈 @JenLGilmour]

A MASSIVE goal achieved before Christmas.

110kg deadlift 💪🏻

Just 12 weeks with @NatalieHurdley and I’ve arrived here.

Confidence has improved and I’m taking ownership for me. Nothing can stop me now 😅💪🏻🙌🏻

@divineeliza1 Sending all the love and support I can

[DV Justice @voicingabuse]

💯 on the list of things to fight for. National registry, not state.

[🦇🐦‍⬛ ₵Ⱨ₳Ø₮ł₵₲ØØĐ 🌚🐈‍⬛ @MsSwank]

There should be a domestic violence offender registry for anyone convicted. We deserve the right to know who isn't safe.

[DV Justice @voicingabuse]

More corruption from the Commonwealth of Virginia.

[Laila Mickelwait @LailaMickelwait]

Virginia police officers are accused of aiding a sex trafficking ring in exchange for allowing them free access to abuse victims…APPALLING.

[Andrew Campbell @amcampbell84]

If you engage in victim-blaming, you’re an accessory to the abuse.
