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 Thank you, not just me, the team at @FemicideCensus Terrible that the ‘nation domestic abuse lead at victim support’ doesn’t gets this wrong. Just another reason that I can’t abide non-specialist organisations running services for women subjected to men’s violence.
@JeanHatchet @K_IngalaSmith These are the women who are dying because they are female and are not listened to. Disgusting
