We need your help – speak out against domestic violence – Refuge
We need your help.
It is a sad and shocking fact that one woman in four experiences domestic violence at some point in her life. Yet one in three local authorities has no specialist domestic violence support whatsoever. Refuge has teamed up with Avon, the company for women, to call for specialist support for every single woman and child who needs it – no matter where they live. But we can’t do this on our own – we need your help.
Please take just a few moments to speak out on behalf of women experiencing domestic violence and add your voice to our petition: http://www.fourwaystospeakout.com
Refuge patron Jo Brand says: “I am supporting Refuge and Avon’s Speak Out petition because it is simply shameful that one in three local authorities has no specialist domestic violence services whatsoever. More than 1 million women experience domestic violence every year; up to two women die every week because of this insidious crime – we must not turn a blind eye. Join me and speak out.
Please sign the petition today: http://www.fourwaystospeakout.com
Once you have signed please encourage others to do the same. We need as many people as possible to join in with a mass tweet and Facebook status change on Thursday (September 30). Please visit http://www.fourwaystospeakout.com/facebook or follow us on Twitter @RefugeCharity to get involved.
Together we can make a difference.
