    5 in 6 women who are raped don't report it to the police. Many fear being disbelieved or their case being disregarded. We know the news of #MasonGreenwood's charges being dropped may be triggering to many survivors. If you need support, talk to us.

    We wish that the @guardian had decided to run obituaries for the women that he killed instead

    I'm pretty appalled that @guardian would run an obituary of a serial killer. What did he achieve that is worthy of such recognition?

    Distressing posts being circulated on social media today #MasonGreenwood. It is essential that all employers, including those in football, take #DomesticAbuse very seriously & we hope @ManUtd do in this case. Solidarity with Harriet Robson. #FootballUnitedAgainstDomesticViolence

    [1/5] The horrific murder of Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt has left an entire nation in a state of disbelief and shock as an utterly devastating act of male violence.

    Everyone has a role to play in ending domestic abuse, including Love Island. ➡️"A programme based around the formation of romantic relationships must have guidelines on what behaviour is acceptable and unacceptable in those relationships."

    We are disappointed with the decision to include Gary Goldsmith in the #CelebrityBigBrother house. Producers must consider how his appearance will impact women who have survived domestic abuse. Read our full statement here:

    Today we will not be naming a killer but instead we are remembering the lives of these women...women who should be here today.

    As many of us will be disappointed about the #England match tonight, the impact this can have on survivors can be much more severe. Being disappointed about the match is NO excuse for abuse. #HesComingHome #ENGFRA For support 👉womensaid.org.uk/information-su…

    The narrative that domestic abuse can be dismissed as a one-off is harmful and influences how seriously the public take abuse. ➡️Domestic abuse is rarely a 'one-off', it's often part of a pattern of behaviour. Read our full response ⤵️

    All women should be safe both on the streets and in their own homes. In solidarity and sisterhood, let's remember Sabina Nessa — another life lost to violence against women. Let's #SaySabinasName, so she gets the justice she deserves.

    "We rely on political leaders to take action to end violence against women and girls, and the misogyny that underpins it. It is vital that spiking survivors see ministers treating the subject seriously and not downplaying the reality so many women face."

    Disappointing to see @KasabianHQ say the reason their lead singer was leaving the band was due to ‘personal reasons that affected his behaviour’. Today he pleaded guilty to assaulting his former fiancée in front of a child. There is no excuse for abuse
