My campaign is to make domestic abuse less of a taboo subject,so much so that the sufferes are too afraid to talk about it. I myself was a victem of abuse and I know now that it was not right. But so many people still live with the emotional scars that have been left by their torment. I want to create a safe enviroment for people to talk about domestic abuse.Somewhere where they wont have to worry about being judged,somewhere where they can talk to people who have similer stories,somewhere where they can completely open up and let it out. I have a great network of friends that have helped me through tough times,now I want to help others. I want all sufferers of domestic abuse to know.You are not alone! And yes,it is ok to cry. But hopefully I can have a tissue and a hug ready for you.

I agree that domestic violence must be opened up for discussion. It is such a taboo subject that professionals are steering as far away from it as possible. I don't think that they are doing enough for victims (or survivors as they are referred to) especially as i agree, it will have long term effects. I myself, together with my two other siblings were younger at the time that my mother went through a heavy form of domestic violence, and it does not only effect the victim, it also affects the children psychologically. Never have I heard of any form of councelling or help to overcome the trauma, for neither my mum or myself and my siblings. It's disgraceful! I realise that the subject is a long and ongoing issue to deal with, however I do believe that raising awareness will help make this less of an issue to talk about and more of an issue to professionals.
