To end domestic abuse we must address the root cause – the perpetrator. Until we have a comprehensive range of specialist perpetrator responses in every area, victims’ safety is at risk.

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, everything that led to the Holocaust is in danger of being forgotten.
The Nazis channeled the demands of oligarchs, scapegoated minorities and replaced democracy with a new imperium. Those politics are returning.

Three women were murdered, yet this headline names their father instead of CAROL, HANNAH and LOUISE HUNT, while reducing their killer to a 'control freak’, thus trivialising coercive control and shielding 'ordinary' men from accountability. Media must do better.

Word of the day is a favourite for this time of year. To be ‘crambazzled’, in old Yorkshire dialect, is to be prematurely aged by excess drinking or partying.

Reform MP James McMurdock, who claimed earlier this year he was jailed in 2006 for “pushing” his former partner, was in fact sentenced for “kicking the victim around four times,” according to court documents obtained by The Times.

Men who beat women do NOT deserve a place in our Parliament.

The MP had told the media he had been jailed for ‘pushing’ former partner in 2006, when the court records suggest a more violent assault
