IT’S TIME TO ACT, MRS MAY

-

In 2017, the Office for National Statistics estimated that over 12 months, 1.2 million women and 713,000 men between the ages of 16 and 59 had experience­d domestic abuse.

Experts and survivors of abuse will tell you those numbers are drasticall­y underestim­ated.

In 2016 I met Rachel Williams, who suffered horrific injuries when she was shot by her estranged husband at the hair salon where she worked five years earlier. She is now a best-selling author of her own story, The Devil At Home. Since then, I’ve helped to promote her campaigns to make changes to a broken system.

Rachel was promised a meeting with No 10 to discuss the campaigns. As yet, they haven’t sorted that meeting. What are you waiting for Prime Minister?
