Domestic abuse is an epidemic that affects countless women and children across the UK. In light of recent government decisions, including the early release of prisoners, the threat to survivors has never been more urgent.
This image, shot by @felicitycrawshaw in collaboration with @WomensAid, serve as a sobering reminder of the real, ongoing dangers faced by those who have already suffered at the hands of abusers. Releasing offenders back into society, even under the guise of overcrowded prisons, puts vulnerable women and children at risk, with potentially devastating consequences.
@WomensAid urges that we must demand better safeguards, more resources for probation services, and unwavering support for survivors. Let’s not allow policy decisions to jeopardize lives.
Every survivor deserves a life free from fear.
Felicity Crawshaw originally shot this image to highlight the correlation between the spike in domestic violence and when the National Football Team plays. The image feels particularly pertinent today.
