The Government's early release scheme starts today. People convicted of stalking, coercive control & non-fatal strangulation can still be released early. Survivors, including Black & minoritised women, are being left to carry the risk! We've written to the Minister. Read our letter: bit.ly/4y0dDlV

📣 This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we want to remind policymakers that survivors’ mental health cannot remain out of sight and out of mind. Black and minoritised women facing abuse are too often excluded from adequate mental health support by racism, poverty and systemic inequality. 🧵 1/4

1/ Pathways of Hope, an Imkaan-led research partnership, welcomes the gov's National Plan to End Homelessness- and its focus on prevention, local authority responses & its recognition that domestic abuse is a significant driver of homelessness. But recognition alone is not enough. 🆕: bit.ly/48OJex8

What actually keeps us safe? ❇️ New research published today by the @runnymedetrust.bsky.social shows that over half of the public believes investing in social and public services would do more to prevent crime than increasing police numbers or powers 🧵👇🏽 1/5 🔗: lnkd.in/eZ3hvvnt

❌ BBC's claims on MVDAC-DVILR misuse do not reflect frontline reality. Victim-survivors face disbelief, delays and barriers to safety. Misuse is the exception, not the norm. With 92 organisations, we reject this framing & call for evidence-led debate rooted in lived experience. bit.ly/4tXa3Y9

Yesterday in the UK Parliament, Jess Phillips read aloud the names of women killed by men over the past year. It is always difficult to listen to. Each name represents a life taken, a family grieving, and a reminder of the devastating scale of male violence against women and girls. 🤍 🧵 🔗 👇🏽
