Thread Name: BS: 50 reasons it's hard to leave abusers
Subject: RE: BS: 50 reasons it's hard to leave abusers
One woman in every four will experience domestic violence in her lifetime And two women every week are murdered by their male partner or husband. (UK figures)
Here in UK there is Women's Aid, an organisation that runs a 24hr helpline and several refuges around the country.
Those 50 ways listed are very important to bear in mind. It's never as easy as people think to just 'walk away'.
I understand that nowadays, the Police and Social Services take reports of DV much more seriously thank goodness.
And don't forget that quite a few men suffer domestic violence and abuse too.
