Food for thought

I attended a meal to raise money for the Babergh Domestic Violence and Abuse Forum the other day. Hearing Cathy Press speak on society's perceptions of abuse and how people often want to explain/rationalise why it happened and often look at what the victim may have done or how was the abuser provoked. It was extremely thought provoking.

It strengthened my belief on why it is so important that we do support Sanctuary schemes for victims in our Council budget. Something that nearly got cut out.
