This includes the issue of child and adolescent to parent violence and abuse (CAPVA).The government needs to revisit & continue the work began by the previous administration, creating a clear definition to understand its prevalence & respond accordingly to the challenges faced by parents and carers.
Great news
Brilliant. My family on my mum’s side are all from and still in the Black Country, so it’s a place very dear to my heart. My great great grandmother was Patience Round, who I’m sure you’ve heard of 💪

2000 women killed by men since 2009 in UK- 61% women killed by a current or former partner, 9% women killed by their sons, 6% by other family, 15% by other men they knew and 10% by men they didn’t know. When will men’s fatal violence against women end. #femicide www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Look forward to seeing you later!
It's not just words, we strive for this, get things wrong sometimes, learn and strive again to do better
I'll be joining this - always keen to think bigger and learn from activists and big thinkers, especially from other parts of the world
Love this photography exhibition from Rainbow Sisters... and love all that @4refugeewomen.bsky.social do!
Reading NAO report & brilliant @lexytopping.bsky.social
Discovered that "the Home Office underspent on its own VAWG budget by an average of 15% between 2021-22 and 2023-24".
Utterly bewildering and rage-making when the whole VAWG sector is on its knees.

We will be discussing whether domestic abuse perpetrators can really change their behaviour and understanding perpetrator programmes.
We will be hearing from @jessasatomp.bsky.social, Respect CEO, @jotodd.bsky.social alongside other academics, and colleagues within the domestic abuse sector.

So delighted to see former @respectuk.bsky.social Research Manager @thangamdebbonaire.bsky.social is on her way to the House of Lords. Great to have an expert in working with perpetrators of domestic abuse (among so many other things) on the red benches 😊
As I discussed on Five Live this week- we are failing rape victims at every turn. 5 years of not being able to move on, not get privileged counselling. Not heal. It’s torturing victims

And it was fantastic to see brilliant sector friends
I'd have told the PM that I'll be watching closely to see whether government words really are matched with bold action... I do hope so...
The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, speaking from a podium, as seen from the audience a few rows back
I very nearly got the chance to speak to the PM at the end but he was whisked away. I would have told him I'm heartened by the government pledge to halve violence against women and girls, but very disappointed he failed to mention it today.
A few reflections on the PM's speech today. As always, it's deeds not words we really want!
I'm very sorry to hear this sad news
Can you add @respectuk.bsky.social too 😊
The ceilings were almost as superb as the company 😊
