Three women are killed a fortnight by a current or ex-partner and so much more needs to change before women and children are safe from abuse and violence.

Having worked for Women's Aid and alongside survivors of domestic abuse I feel so passionately about the specialist support they deliver and the hope they give to thousands of women and children.

I know the dangers of domestic abuse and, through my Masters dissertation on coercive control and intimate partner homicide, I know the fatal consequences of abuse and control. But there is hope!

I would appreciate anything you can give and just £10 could fund a life-changing conversation between a professional Women's Aid support worker and a survivor of domestic abuse to help her recover from abuse.
