Sadly very true.

I hadn't heard of Sistah Space before. They look like a good organisation.

In the past I was told on here to leave my violent ex and to call the police. I'm glad the police were there for me when I needed them. It's scary because the more hate they get, the less likely it is they can recruit and retain. Who saves the lives of women then?

I don't understand why working class, disabled, minority ethnic, and older women don't matter. These are the women dying from covid. They shouldn't be put at extra risk through large groups of people gathering. London is still behind the rest of the UK with the vaccine rollout.

I'd guess, asurvivor, it's because even vulnerable women have only been at risk of covid for one year - whereas they have been at risk of male VAWG for their entire lives.

And I type that as someone who is vulnerable to covid.

There’s been a rise in cases in the last year as a result of the pandemic. Research* found that since March 2020, a further 1.6m people are having their finances controlled by someone else and the increase is sharpest among women under 35.
