Fantastic film. Well done FPFW.

Amazing to see the results of our campaign contributions.

Very moving film.

The accompanying report is really well done also: fairplayforwomen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/FPFW_report_19SEPT2018.pdf

This is absolutely magnificent

Incredible, moving, video

I have only skimmed the report intro but it is so well done, so powerful. And it has input from professionals in the DV sector, Karen inglala Smith, pat Craven (of the freedom programme) and others.

BRAVA

Sorry maybe should have put a trigger warning on the vid.

Such a powerful message. Brilliant.

Well I am more than happy with my (small) monetary contribution. Brilliant film, well done and thank you. If you are thinking of opening an appeal for another tranche of funds I would be very willing to give again.

I hope this is being spread widely on Twitter without a view warning.

Excellent video.

Excellent, and I'm glad that people aren't responding to the usual 'terf' yellers.

Thanks for linking. I have sent to my MP, to add to what I wrote yesterday, and to my local council Equality Consultation

That report is a pretty strong response to the widely derided Stonewall report on the Domestic and Sexual Violence Support Sector.

Previous thread on Stonewall report here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3325247-Stonewall-report-into-domestic-and-violent-services

Stonewall say they spoke to 15 professionals in the sector (though they don't make clear how many were quoted in the report).

Fair Play For Women report includes contributions from 12 professionals plus a similar number again of service users.

The level of silencing the professionals report in the sector is terrifying. They say raising and discussing the risks to the women and children who use their services is not possible because they are frightened of losing funding. They say that say it isn't possible for a risk assessment to prevent abusive men using self-ID to access and harm women. They say women and children are already at risk due to problems with using the exemptions on the ground.

These are women with decades of experience in the sector. How did we get here?

More importantly how do we get out?

I would like to see everyone supported as needed after domestic or sexual violence, whatever their biological sex and however they identify. I don't see how the Stonewall report offers a way of achieving that though.

The video made me cry.

It is very powerful.

I do think a content warning (for those who have been impacted by male violence) would be a good idea.

Excellent, and I'm glad that people aren't responding to the usual 'terf' yellers*

I agree. They thrive on trying to rile women. I dare say they will keep foaming until a GC woman or man bites. I hope no one feeds the misogyny.

It's a brilliant video and a really sobering report.

The video made me cry too. And the report makes for a harrowing and infuriating read.

I want to congratulate FPFW for managing to do so much with the donations we have given them. It's a far cry from the oodles of government and corporate charity cash the anti-woman activists are rolling in.

It made me cry too.

That report was so amazing I’ve just donated again.
