Did you watch the extremely brave women and men tell their stories on last nights Beaten by My Boyfriend?
The programme highlighted the severe and damaging effects of domestic violence on sufferers and the difficulties that people face in bringing perpetrators to justice.
Last year 7,000 Non-Molestation Orders were granted to protect those suffering from domestic violence. Non-Molestation Orders are applied for in the family Court and if they are breached then the perpetrator will be arrested immediately.
With 2 women a week killed by domestic violence it's important that people are aware of the protection available to them.
Remember...domestic violence is not acceptable and you do not have to suffer in silence....#itsneverok.
