Women from black and minority ethnic backgrounds are dismissed more often by police when reporting domestic abuse theguardian.com/society/2022/d…
Important to say that the last paragraph is clunky and “two women a week…” is inaccurate. On average a woman is murdered by a man every three days. In a domestic context every four days. Thanks as always to @K_IngalaSmith for her work which women should understand & credit.
@JeanHatchet This is something we touched on in yesterday's VAWG meeting. It needs much more work, effort, understanding. There are some excellent organisations ready to impart their knowledge. Are @syptweet up for it?
@JeanHatchet While this is probably true, I reckon it has more to do with cultural norms affecting behaviors than with the color of their skin. Yell at the police and make demands of them while yelling threats at the perpetrator, and that police report will not be kind to you.
@JeanHatchet Am I the only one who hates the images used of women in these reports? How about a picture of a snivelling man who does that kind of thing?
