CUT! Please, someone say cut…

Filed under: Domestic Violence

Isn’t it time someone called "Cut!"

Isn’t it time someone said "Stop!"

Warning, the link contains images of extreme violence and may be triggering. 

"Wait, this isn’t in the script, I didn’t agree to this."

Two women in the UK die every week as a direct result of domestic violence, are killed by a partner or ex-partner.  It wasn’t in their "script" either and no-one called cut, the violence was real, the injuries were real, the pain was real, and then they died.

If there’s something you can do, then do it. Embrace your women friends and tell them you care, find your local contact for Women’s Aid and see if you can help. Do something, make it stop. Be the person who calls "Cut!"
