Currently here is a time limit for common assault and hence much domestic violence as the latter isn't a specific criminal offence.

Do posts on this board appear in active convos if they get enough action? I think signing this one should be everyone's feminist act for today!

Yes, they do. So please if people sign do also post on this thread, and come back to bump occasionally. It's the only way to lift petitions threads out of the tumbleweed really.

I came across this petition from a post on one of the MN campaign threads

Excellent, I've signed and shared. I hope this gets a lot of traction.
