This morning, HR2 Rotary Club had the privilege of welcoming Jools, CEO of Leeway Domestic Abuse Charity, to speak to our group.
No fluff. No softening of the edges. Just an honest, unflinching account of what domestic abuse looks like in our communities, and why it demands our attention.
1 in 3 women will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime.
That is not a distant statistic. That is someone in your street, your workplace, your family. Women and young girls who are suffering, often in silence, often with nowhere to turn.
Leeway Domestic Violence and Abuse Services exist to change that. If you can support their work, share this post, or simply have a conversation with someone you are worried about, please do.
You do not need to be certain to reach out. You just need to care enough to ask.
