The #DomesticAbuseBill has been signed into law. Huge respect and kudos to the campaigners who worked relentlessly to get us to this milestone.

It WILL make a difference. But the struggle will continue until the gaps in this bill are attended to. 1/3

To the shame of our Government, as it stands, the bill still leaves migrant women stranded and doesn’t guarantee statutory funding for Domestic Abuse services. The opportunity was also missed create a register for repeat perpetrators.
2/3

In the 4 years since the bill was first promised, millions of lives have been ruined by or lost to Domestic Abuse. We must keep the pressure up to protect the most marginalised and address the inequality that causes and perpetuates one of the most prevalent crimes in Britain.
