#SurvivorVoices #ScottishWomensAid #EndDomesticAbuse

I will be joining the upcoming #ForThemAll online vigil with #ScottishWomensAid in memory of all the women & children who have died because of domestic abuse. See details below for how you can also participate in this night of remembrance and reflection during #16Days.

Today is the 1st day of #16Days & the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. At #ScottishWomensAid we're launching our #ChildContact campaign #StillNotSafe to raise awareness of the damaging child contact decisions that leave women and children unsafe and re-traumatised.

#CoercedDebt is something we are closely looking at at #ScottishWomensAid, both public and private coerced debt. You're absolutely right, the repercussions of it, whether you're able to remain in your house or not can be devastating.
