Today marks the beginning of 16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, running through to 10 December, Human Rights Day.
Over the next 16 days we will be sharing information, insights, and guest blogs from others whether they have been affected by domestic violence or support people who have. The aim is that more awareness, can lead to more action against it.
