If you are suffering any level of #DomesticAbuse or #WorkplaceViolence , once that behaviour becomes commonplace, it will escalate. You need to take action to stop it, or escape that environment before it is too late. #WhiteRibbonDay

Here is an earlier article of ours: Strategies to Combat VAWG https://westenglandbylines.co.uk/feeling-safe-being-safe-strategies-to-combat-violence-against-women-and-girls/

#VAWG #whiteribbonday #bylines

Don’t be embarrassed if you’re experiencing or have experienced #DomesticAbuse even if you have the highest education or the best job in the world. That doesn’t mean it’s your fault because you should’ve known better. The shame is not yours.
#WhiteRibbonDay

Today is White Ribbon Day, marking the first day of 16 days of activism against gender based violence. We support the end of VAWG. Everyone can commit to make the world safer and more equal https://www.whiteribbon.org.uk/whiteribbonday22l.

#endviolence #whiteribbonday #Bylines

Despite 112 years of progress since Black Friday, socially acceptable violence against women persists.

#WhiteRibbonDay shows that #NotAllMen is true, and you won’t let it happen under your nose.

Together we can make the world a better place ✊

As today is “Black Friday” and #WhiteRibbonDay, let’s talk about Black Friday 1910: a November day that got its name from the violence meted out to women demonstrating for the right to vote

Today on #WhiteRibbonDay we take a stand against sexism and gender-based violence – as we do every day.

We have a responsibility to work together to end violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence.

NationalWorld spoke to criminologist Professor Elizabeth Yardley from Birmingham City University who explained why some female victims of murder and violent crimes receive more press coverage than others.

NationalWorld has an exclusive analysis of figures which show women are more likely than men to drop out of the justice process when it comes to rape cases.

From 2017/18 to 2021/22 an average of 57.2% of women dropped out compared to 51.9% of males. Rape Crisis has spoken about some of the reasons behind this. #uk #news #politics #WhiteRibbonDay

⚪ #WhiteRibbonDay: From a woman whose body was found so badly beaten she has never been identified to the case of a young mum who vanished on her way home, their cases remain unsolved.

NationalWorld's crime and justice specialist Karen Roberts looks at 20 women whose murders remain unsolved.

At @GoodLawProject@twitter.com on #WhiteRibbonDay we reaffirm our wish for a world where women live free of violence.

We have a dedicated solicitor at Good Law Practice, are backing one case to help women sued by their abusers, and another that tackles sexual misbehaviour at the Met Police.

Today is #WhiteRibbonDay (25 Nov) across the world. It seeks to prevent violence against women and girls.

@WhiteRibbon_UK encourage everyone to make the White Ribbon pledge to never use, excuse or remain silent about violence against women and girls. #StopVAWG

Did you know 33% of all women who become #homeless do so after experiencing violence?

This #whiteribbonday, stand with us and all women #sleepingrough due to gender-based violence.

We need men and boys to see through a girl’s eyes. Once they see what it means to face sexual harassment every day, they can stop it #WhiteRibbonDay https://orlo.uk/A8e4B

Good morning. Serving my coffee today in my #WhiteRibbonDay mug. White Ribbon is the UK’s leading charity engaging men and boys to end violence against women.

The news gives us daily reminders of how much work remains to stamp out misogyny. We all need to do everything we can.

I wrote this seven years ago. I still lived with my #abuser and he didn't get it... he still doesn't.

On #WhiteRibbonDay and in light of #hittinghome, I'd like everyone to consider the victims of abuse who don't carry any bruises. This is my open letter to the manipulators, the gaslighters, the controllers, the isolaters, and the destroyers of self worth:

I don't care if you think they're the #love of your #life, they just have to change a bit.
I don't care if you don't know how else to deal with your own insecurities.
I don't care if you don't physically hurt them.
I don't care if they "don't listen to you."
I don't care if you learnt it from your parents.
I don't care if you believe the world owes you something.
I don't care how much it is "the other person's fault."
I don't care how much respect you think you deserve.
I DO NOT CARE if you are only trying to create your idea of a #perfect life.

You DON'T DESERVE a perfect life if you need to destroy someone else's in order to get it.

You may not hit your partner, but you're still 100% the person who needs to listen to the national conversation.
You are still #100% a part of the epidemic of #DomesticeViolence in #Australia
You are still 100% on the radar of all of your victim's family and friends.

And you are still, most definitely, absolutely, 100% an abuser.
