Domestic Violence - BBC article

[Dis86]

Wanted to post this one as it is a cracking read.

I really cannot believe the attitudes these women faced.

Additionally I also think it's great at highlighting the politicisation of the victim status.

Good post and link OP.

I feel very sad for the women that went through this. I know someone who was in a similar situation.

It frustrates me on how these men act. I think ultimately only other men can get us anywhere near to solving violence from the male side, through peer pressure.

A man attacking a woman (and children) should feel shame. He's not a man. He's a loser.

I just can't comprehend how individuals such as GPs, priests and even police officers just didn't care. Turned blind eyes or even sent the women back home. Unreal. Being in that situation with nowhere to turn is just awful.

This is incredible.



My word.

I just didn't have the words when I read that. What the actual?!

@Hades the article shows us that options were available. It just took someone that cared enough and had the strength of will to do it. She's an amazing individual and even though I've not knowingly known anyone who has benefitted from her work, I'm immensely thankful for it.
