Please sign this petition to try and prevent the defunding of women’s refuges

[CaveMum]

Earlier today it was revealed that, during 2016, 78 women women were murdered in the UK by their current or ex-partner. SEVENTY EIGHT

39 of those women had children under the age of 18.
3 of them were pregnant.

This week the Government will be voting on legislation that will impact massively on the funding of women’s refuges. If the changes go ahead many refuges will be forced to close due to lack of funds.

Please take a minute to read and sign this petition and share it with your friends and family via social media.

Make signing this a New Year's resolution. Easy one to tick off!

Is this going to affect men's refuges as well.
How many men were killed by there partners last year?, any body know.

Couldn't find anything for last year but found this for earlier. In 15/16, 28 men died at the hands of their partner or ex-partner (19 men in
14/15) compared to 77 women (83 in 2014/054). For men, this was the highest
since 08/09.

And Jon Flanagan walks from court with a community service sentence, after assaulting his Girlfriend, all caught on CCTV.

It’s just so depressing

There’s a trial at the moment of a man accused of raping and murdering his niece, and attempted murder of another woman.
