83,000 women and girls were deliberately killed last year.
Most were killed by someone they should have been able to trust, like a partner or family member.

Two Democratic members of Congress visited the ICE family detention center in Dilley, Texas, where 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being detained, along with many other children and families.
Over the weekend, hundreds of detainees inside the facility protested their conditions and treatment in a display of defiance.
@IAmAmnaNawaz speaks to @EricLeeAtty for more.

Society tells survivors to speak out.
But when their abuser turns out to be a friend, a relative, a coworker, the survivor is suddenly labelled a liar.
We must move away from this culture of denial and recognise that abusers are all around us.

More than 42,000 in central Pa could lose health and food assistance - York Daily Record ydr.com/story/news/politics/…
@GovernorShapiro is right. These cuts do not protect children, they will inflict great harm to them. @RepScottPerry and @RepSmucker only have themselves to blame.

It’s no coincidence this disinfo campaign by those standing to profit from continued misuse of PA - harming abuse survivors - comes on eve of vote to repeal BR🇧🇷 “parental alienation” law.
@UNSRVAW report was neither rejected nor withdrawn, as erroneously stated by the institute
