This #CPAAwarenessDay (Child to Parent Abuse) we are raising awareness of the hidden harm, also known as CAPVA (Child and Adolescent to Parent Violence and Abuse).

Abuse is so much more than physical violence.

Coercive control causes severe harm and lasting trauma. We should all be able to recognise the signs.

It's been a privilege to be part of the #VAWGTakeover coalition of charities. Particular thanks to Jo Camadoo-Rothwell of @safelives.bsky.social for securing the space, which enabled a group of charities with limited budgets to join this key policy event.
Here's to lots more collaboration! 🤝 (7/7)

The finale of the eve was the #VAWG Rally. MC’d by @alexdaviesjones.bsky.social, speakers included Home Sec. Rt Hon Shabana Mahmood, @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social & founders of @killedwomennw.bsky.social Julie Devey & Carole Gould, who talked about the loss of their daughters & their vital work. (6/7)

Claire's heart-rending story of the loss of her two sons through post separation abuse left not one dry eye in the room. @emily4mk.bsky.social paid tribute to Claire & called for more protection for women fleeing abuse, as they take their trauma with them.

Sam talked about types of economic abuse & hidden harms in the system for victims. Erin shared challenges faced by women with NRPF & the need to scrap the 2-child benefit limit & increase LHA. Jo reminded us perpetrators don't come from 1 demographic & shared a loved one's awful experience. (4/7)

We welcome Helen Millichap’s comments and fully agree that the real work of ending violence against women must not be overshadowed by political disputes.

Top cop warns of 'distraction' from threat facing women

Helen Millichap told Sky News that the "real threat" of violence against women and girls comes from a "multitude" of places, not just asylum seekers.

We are sickened by the atrocious antisemitic attack on a Manchester synagogue today, Yom Kippur. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims, as well as our Jewish colleagues, friends and family. Respect stands in solidarity with the Jewish community at this difficult time.

We welcome the action the Met Police Commissioner has taken, including the suspension of officers, but it is not nearly enough. Root and branch change is urgently needed to ensure that the Met Police fulfils its duty and protects the safety of everyone it serves. (3/3)

This utterly unacceptable misogyny, racism and brutality emboldens perpetrators of #VAWG and normalises the dehumanisation of Black and minoritised communities. This behaviour needs to be held to account in all workplaces, but in particular in state services that should protect us from crime. (2/3)

The horrific failures that have been brought to light in the #BBCPanorama investigation of the Met Police are catastrophic and will undermine confidence in policing for years to come, putting survivors of domestic abuse - particularly Black, minoritised and migrant women - at further risk. (1/3)

At this evening's #VAWGTakeover event, we'll discuss the hidden harm of post-separation of abuse, alongside coalition partners @seacharity.bsky.social and @womensbudgetgrp.bsky.social.

We also plan to join the annual #VAWG rally which will round off our time at the conference.
