A Women’s Aid spokesperson. It’s horrendous that there simply isn’t the funding, support and resources for everyone who needs it.
Oh and why call it a "hard hitting" campaign? Does no-one at that office think that’s innapropriate? And what an opportunity to have a link there for any women reading it to click and find help? Where is that? I don’t see it.

Update: Email reply from the deputy editor:
Dear Sarah,
Your observation with regard to the domestic violence campaign is absolutely correct.
We stopped the relevant phrase from going into the paper but was unfortunately allowed to stay on the web.
I have instructed it should be taken off immediately.

Neil White,
Deputy Editor,
Derby Evening Telegraph.
And the phrase is gone, prompt and effective, thank you Neil.
