Petition - response to domestic violence

21 replies

Refuge is calling for a public inquiry into the response of state agencies, including the police, to domestic violence.

If you think this is a good idea, please sign the petition (sorry can't make it link!)

Apologies if this is in the wrong place.

This is really important and all the cuts have made it much harder for victims to find help and make themselves (and children) safe. That makes it even more important that official agencies respond strongly and properly when they become involved.

The figure of 2 women a week - a week! - being killed by their abuser has to be brought down.

Thank you all so much. I am not related to the family or Refuge in any way, I just feel the time is ripe to shake this up.
