⭐ Congratulations to the District Attorney's Office in El Paso for receiving a $500,000 grant which will reinstate their Domestic Violence Unit & educate judges, attorneys, and LE about IPV.
😞 Most law schools do not require domestic violence be taught. As a result, many lawyers know little about this complex, but pervasive, issue.
"It is not about you." This is the number one thing to remember for anyone wanting to assist victims of violence, harassment and prejudice of all kinds. Help, but stay off the stage unless invited. If invited, make it about the survivors and victims, not about you.
This is by far the best article I have read about the crisis of violence against women and the most recent faux pas of the Prime Minister (and a series of Prime Ministers). Annabel Crabb carefully examines the evidence, puts forward her arguments with clarity and ends with proposing a 'Women Keeper' budget increase to provide the funds and services to help women leave domestic violence.
And on a side note: I appreciate how she gently clarifies the meaning of 'misogyny' and distinguishes it from ineptness or tone-deaf behaviour.
