Katie Piper Instagram – The epidemic of abuse, violence against women continues in plain sight.
Women being killed and raped in the most extreme ways and children being abused. Reading headlines reporting on Rebecca Cheptegei murder.
‘Olympian dies after being set on fire with petrol’… erasing the terrible act of pre-meditated murder that she endured.
Watching the strength, courage and bravery of Gisele Pelicot has moved me, as she attended court this week, waived her right to anonymity to stand against her abuser, her husband, who over the course of 10 years drugged her and invited 51 men to violently rape her. But was not allowed to use the word “rape” in court.
I know from my work with @womens_aid that sadly these stories are no less prevalent behind closed doors. Women attacked, killed, their children murdered by people known to them, beaten and raped, women are not safe. | Posted on 06/Sep/2024 22:43:55
