Re: Keira knightley domestic violent advert
Don't need to view..been there got the tee shirt.
Almost 40 years now since Erin Pizzey started the first women's refuge. There are now many of these refuges, which is good. But the problem of domestic abuse doesn't seem to go away and probably never will.
The police service is now more active in prosecuting perpetraters of domestic violence, which is good. Way back when I was a victim, they did nothing.
1 in 6 cases of domestic violence is against males. The support for men seems sadly lacking even in this supposedly enlightened day and age.
Seems that this ad concentrates on female victims..not male?
I know that help lines are for men as well as women, but it would seem that men are a lot less likely to report abuse anyway, as if they would be seen as weak maybe.
