Reading: Personal Stories

I'm going to share with you four stories of women who experienced domestic violence, with names changed. Two are from Refuge's own literature, which I received in their fundraising pack. The third and fourth are contained in an extract from the chapter I quoted recently in The Equality Illusion by Kat Banyard. There is some description of violent physical and sexual abuse. You can choose not to read any of this, and that's fine. The people living these stories didn't get to choose not to have these things happen. This is why there should be help for anyone who suffers domestic violence, and why it's so shocking how poorly funded any help services are. Please do something today to help change that.
