Our local domestic abuse and sexual assault shelter’s statistics for this year.

I used their services in the past, I donate monthly, participated in speaking events and fundraising events, and am always so thankful they are here.

The WCA has helped so many people!

Abusers make endless excuses to justify their behavior. They deflect blame, claim external causes, or deny responsibility—all to avoid accountability & keep you trapped in the cycle of abuse.

Marriage vows don’t mean enduring abuse. Religious or societal pressure can trap women, but leaving is an act of courage, not failure. Safety, respect, and love always come first. #DomesticAbuse #Empowerment #MarriageSafety

Bound By Faith: Leaving an Abusive Marriage in Religious Contexts
Marriage, typically viewed as a holy union grounded in love, respect, and mutual support, can sometimes transform into a trap for those caught in the cycle of abuse.

Our feasibility study found that Restart shows promise in providing early support to families experiencing #DomesticAbuse.

💬 @cordisbright.bsky.social's Kathryn Lord & @drivepartnership.bsky.social's Kyla Kirkpatrick's reflect on the programme's potential.

📄 foundations.org.uk/our-work/pub...
Children so often experience domestic abuse long before it becomes visible to wider family, friends, or services; with crucial opportunities to respond earlier being missed, and the long-lasting impacts throughout life overlooked. Restart has been designed to address these gaps and ensure that families experiencing domestic abuse are identified and responded to earlier, and child and adult victim-survivors can remain safe and together. - Kyla Kirkpatrick, Director of the Drive Partnership "By collaborating with practitioners, survivors, and delivery partners, we’ve been able to identify the ways in which Restart is already working, where the challenges lie, and how to design evaluations that are robust, proportionate, and useful. The next step is to translate these insights into practical improvements; strengthening data, refining delivery, and co-designing evaluation approaches that are both meaningful and grounded in lived experience." - Dr Kathryn Lord, Principal Consultant, Cordis Bright

Richardson struggled with alcoholism, leading to two DUIs, and they fought for years over custody of their four children. The battle ended tragically with her suicide on May 16, 2012, at their Bedford, New York home.

One recording might have violated state law. It was part of a messy saga that ended with her suicide.

Leaving an abusive relationship doesn’t always stop the abuse—it can escalate it. From legal battles to smearing, the aftermath can be brutal.

It is truly wonderful to see this series of women survivor #stories continue to be exhibited and read around #Bulgaria.

A powerful collection changing lives and raising awareness of #domesticabuse and unhealthy relationships.

After escaping abuse, finding a person who makes you feel safe can be like a breath of fresh air. Of course, coming to the point where you may be ready to even consider dating again varies from person to person.

My husband yells at me whenever I mess up. Not just raises his voice, he yells. I don’t think he sees a problem with this, but I feel like a kid who’s being scorned by a parent. I’ve been wondering if this counts as abuse.
