I can’t believe it took this long to find a solution to domestic abuse. We thought it was about safe housing, but we just need to update our avis and victims will be safer https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☠️" title="Skull and crossbones" aria-label="Emoji: Skull and crossbones"> https://twitter.com/bbcnews/status/1248999539463389184">https://twitter.com/bbcnews/s...

Reminder that in an emergency you should call 999. No matter what your social-economic or immigration status is.

If you can& #39;t talk and you are on a mobile phone, you& #39;ll get through their silent solution system. Once you hear you are through to police you need to press 55.

If you are not in immediate danger @womensaid runs a live chat Monday to Friday 10-12pm.

The national domestic abuse helpline is 0808 2000 247.

For Latinxs suffering domestic violence, @LAWALondon can help. They speak English, Spanish and Portuguese.

@SBSisters are there to help black women of Asian and Caribbean backgrounds.

Opoka runs a helpline in Polish 0300 365 1700

And of course... YOU CAN BREAK LOCKDOWN IF YOU ARE LIVING WITH AN ABUSIVE PARTNER. Get out the house if it means you& #39;ll be safer.

Hitting you, stopping you from contacting family, threatening you or making you do things you don& #39;t want to do, making you feel worthless... those are just some of the ways abusers exert power. Domestic abuse can happen to *anyone*, if it doesn& #39;t feel right... get out.

A few days ago I wrote a longer version of this thread. It& #39;s appearing on a few of our regional titles. My only hope with it is that as many people as possible come across it. Domestic abuse is more than just outrageous headlines. https://bit.ly/2xlENeF ">https://bit.ly/2xlENeF&q...
