Women's charity leaders, minimising women's abuse against men.

It is a disgrace for leaders of the two biggest domestic abuse charities in the UK, to dismiss and minimise female perpetrated domestic abuse. #DomesticAbuse #DomesticViolence #YouAreNotAlone #Vlog #Blog #Government #Politics #Covid19 #Menoo #MeToo #Business #Equality #GammaBias #Police #NHS #CoerciveControl #Misandry #WomensAid #RespectUK #Refuge #MankindInitiative #Feminism #ToxicMasculinity #DABS #DomesticAbuseBusinessSupport #Education #Crime #Gaslighting #PTSD #MentalHe

COVID -19 & DOMESTIC ABUSE

It is now an accepted fact that the covid - 19 lockdown across the world, has caused a huge rise in incidents of domestic abuse. As victims are ever more isolated and pressure builds, the abuser takes advantage of the lockdown to inflict more abuse. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

When you see the "call to action," this highlights the blog posts that we need YOU to get involved with.

"Respect your fellow human being, treat them fairly, disagree with them honestly, enjoy their friendship, explore your thoughts about one another candidly, work together for a common goal and help one another achieve it. No destructive lies. No ridiculous fears. No debilitating anger." - Bill Bradley

Please help DABS and The Bridging The Gap Project, to support a change in how we all talk about domestic abuse. Let's all come together for the good of all victims, regardless of their gender, religion, ability, sexuality, ethnicity or social and workplace position.
