Louise, thank you for doing this important work and sharing your findings with us. There is so much that has to change, despite the shocking facts, I am heartened to hear that your work is being used in criminal cases. You might be interested in the brilliant post by Kay Stratton about the injustice of language (and other factors) around abuse and male violence xx

Thank you, it really was a privilege to be involved in this work. I will look up Kay’s post, too, thanks for the pointer. Thank you also to you and all the IWD siren song team for creating this movement among the Substack community. Your session with Lauren was wonderful and I’ve so enjoyed reading so many thought provoking pieces ❤️
