Rant

Just seen the new adverts the home office have done to raise awareness of abuse and violence in young relationships. I've seen it twice and both times I actually flinched. I checked it out online and apparently the home office has a whole strategy for ending violence against woman and girls. Strategy is their word not mine!
Maybe I'm just cynical but this all seems like a load of shit to me. I can just see a bunch of over paid idiots sitting round discussing this for hours and coming up with all this rubbish.
At the end of the day do they really think they can completely end violence against woman. 1 in 4 woman will experience domestic abuse in their life, that doesn't go away cause the government has a new strategy. What woman really need is help when the abuse happens, help to get away from the abuse, someone to talk to about what is happening to them and then support afterwards to allow them to rebuilt their life. Domestic abuse will never go away but the woman who've been through it need help to move past it. The scars run deep and for most woman they are very well hidden. Woman need help to know that they shouldn't be ashamed of what happened to them, that its not there fault and that they can start again no matter where they are in life. And I don't see that help anywhere so somehow I think there strategy is flawed, what a surprise.

Okay rant over!
