Race and gender can shape why leaving abuse isn’t always simple.
From gender roles and financial barriers to cultural expectations and systemic challenges, many women face layered pressures.
Understanding this helps us create more inclusive, accessible support systems.

PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher speaking to a Westminster committee about violence against women and girls in Northern Ireland “There seems to be an acceptance around misogyny the like of which I’ve not seen. We have to draw a line and say this is not acceptable.” #ENDVAWG

A full house at #CSW70 for our panel with the Advocates for Human Rights on how legal systems can harm survivors instead of delivering justice.
Grateful for the powerful discussion and shared strategies to strengthen survivor-centred justice.
#EndVAWG #AccessToJustice
We are all entitled to human rights. This includes the right to life, to education, to live free from violence and discrimination, the right to own property, the right to vote etc. It is time for us to make these universal and inalienable rights for women and girls the reality everywhere.

A candid color photograph of Nadia Murad taken around 2019 (likely at an event hosted by or related to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), showing her seated at a table in what appears to be a formal or diplomatic setting. She is a woman in her mid-20s with long dark hair parted in the center, wearing subtle makeup, small earrings, and a black top under a blue-and-red plaid blazer or jacket. A thin gold necklace is visible. Her expression is warm and slightly amused, with a gentle smile and eyes looking slightly off-camera, conveying poise, intelligence, and approachability amid a backdrop of ornate historical painting or tapestry on the wall featuring figures in period clothing. A white napkin and glass are partially visible on the table in the foreground. The image captures her as a leading global advocate for survivors of genocide and conflict-related sexual violence, emphasizing her dignified presence in international advocacy spaces.
Nadia Murad won the 2018 #Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war & armed conflict. She was born #OTD in 1993.

A side-by-side split image contrasting a real-life portrait of Francine Hughes (Francine Moran Hughes Wilson, 1947–2017) with the promotional movie poster for the 1984 NBC television film The Burning Bed, which dramatized her landmark domestic abuse case. On the left: A color photograph of Francine Hughes as a middle-aged woman shown in a close-up headshot against a dark background. She has shoulder-length dark brown hair styled in soft waves, warm brown eyes, and a gentle, resilient smile revealing straight teeth. Her expression conveys quiet strength, warmth, and survivor resilience, wearing subtle earrings and light makeup. On the right: The dramatic 1984 movie poster for The Burning Bed, starring Farrah Fawcett. The dark, moody design features a fiery orange-red glow at the bottom, evoking flames. Tagline text at the top reads "Based on the sensational true story..." in white lettering. Centered is Farrah Fawcett as Francine Hughes, with intense, haunted expression and windswept blonde hair, wearing a purple dress; she protectively embraces three frightened children (two girls with long hair and a boy in a striped shirt) clustered around her—one girl looks up worriedly, another stares ahead solemnly, and the boy rests his head on her shoulder. Title text in bold orange-yellow letters: "FARRAH FAWCETT THE BURNING BED". The poster highlights themes of abuse, survival, and maternal protection, based on the true events of March 9, 1977, when Hughes set fire to her abusive ex-husband's bed after years of violence, leading to her acquittal by reason of temporary insanity and greater national awareness of battered women's syndrome.
⚠️ TW: Mentions of DV & abuse.
#OTD in 1977, Francine Hughes set her abusive husband’s bed on fire as he slept.
After 13 years of brutal abuse & zero help from police, her 𝘉𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘦𝘥 case forced America to finally look at the horror of domestic violence. #WomensHistoryMonth #WHM #EndVAWG (1/2)
