8 - 1 in 4 women in the UK will become a victim of abuse, and for LGBTQ+ people this statistic is almost double.

Hurt people, hurt people. We need to heal.

7 - 1 in 3 women in America will become a victim of abuse and they're about to give an abusive man the presidency.

6 - It's very difficult to talk about #DA and #DV because we are often in love with the person doing it to us but we have to hear these stories. We have to teach these stories and we have to hold abusers and the world accountable.

5 - 'Kiena's mother Angela Dawes says that Wellings' prosecution had “violated” her daughter again'.

Wellings arrogance and the lack of accountability from his legal team is so chilling. These people genuinely believe they can get away with this behaviour, because often society lets them.

4 -She was "swept off her feet" when she first met him. Always. :(

3 - 'Wellings smiled as he was taken down to the cells'.

This is awful - but it's also a sensationalist bit of reporting that paints all abusers as 'pure evil' and allows you to look the other way. Your brother, sister or best friend could be quite happily abusing someone you know right now.

2 - The defence claimed "It's wrong to say the coercive and controlling relationship was in existence throughout", but living in fear of what an abusive partner might do or say to you next IS abuse and the monster is always hiding under the bed.

say hi to Fandango for me 🦩
