It is shocking but as long as the society of NI does not address the underlying misogyny in every sphere - education/employment/sport/ arts/leisure people believe they have the right to treat women abusively & the @niassembly must invest in the multiagency approach to ending DV

Four women have been murdered by men in six weeks. This is atrocious. This means that Northern Ireland per head of population is one of the most dangerous places in Europe to be a woman. This is an epidemic that requires immediate action. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdje…

I attended a screening of @DocResilience in 2018 at Crumlin Road Gaol thanks to @actiontrauma. I’d love to see more screenings and for it to be embedded in initial training of teachers, social workers, doctors, psychologists, and many other professions.
7 yrs ago we’d just held 1st @DocResilience screening in NI, inspired by @suzannezeedyk the late @HendryTina’s Scottish tour. This was soon followed with 5 more NI screenings. 7 yrs on & trauma awareness has grown here, but we still have far to go particularly in our communities
