Online stalking and harassment is when someone ‘monitors, stalks, harasses, threatens, controls or impersonates another person using the internet or other technology’. If this feels familiar, speak to NIDAS. nidasnorfolk.co.uk/how-do-you-kno…

We have some exciting opportunities to join Leeway's Board! These are voluntary roles, with the Board meeting in Norwich around 6 to 8 times a year. If you are interested and would like to apply, or would like additional information, please email s.larter@leewaynwa.org.uk.

We are pleased to support NIDAS's campaign raising awareness of stalking and harassment. Please share to help us to spread this important message and raise awareness of these behaviours, as well as highlighting the support that is available for those experiencing it.

Travel to refuge is a scheme which involves local domestic abuse services supporting survivors to safely reach refuge accommodation, with travel companies covering the cost. To find your local service contact our Live Chat or the National Domestic Abuse Helpline at 0808 2000 247.

We were at the @uniofeastanglia yesterday to mark #WhiteRibbonDay🤍 Joining us on the day were a variety of organisations and charities that work to support people who are experiencing domestic or sexual abuse, many of which are commissioned by the OPCCN.

We asked some of our service users to describe Leeway in one-word to encapsulate what Leeway means to them. #50YearsOfLeeway #ItStartsWithMen #EveryonesBusiness

Our staff work tirelessly every day to support those experiencing domestic abuse and campaigns like #WhiteRibbon provide a great chance to reflect on the impact organisations like Leeway continue to have.

If you’ve experienced domestic violence, we're here to support you. Our support is totally confidential and non-judgemental, and you will be believed. #WhiteRibbonUK nidasnorfolk.co.uk/help-and-suppo…

Today's perceived drop in domestic abuse crimes reflects fewer crimes recorded, not fewer crimes happening. This follows police being instructed to count fewer DA crimes. That's why this data doesn't reflect the prevalence of DA, nor the number of DA crimes reported to police.

In today's debate on Violence against Women I outlined the importance of supporting organisations like @LeewayDV in Norwich who help victims of domestic abuse. I addressed issues in our judicial system, our approach to misogyny at its source and raised the international context.

We were delighted to attend events with partner agencies across Suffolk to mark White Ribbon Day! We are committed to working together to tackle domestic abuse and all forms of violence against women and girls. #ItStartsWithMen #WhiteRibbon

Today marks #EconomicAbuseAwareness Day. Last year, 1 in 7 women in the UK experienced economic abuse from a current or former partner. Abusers use this form of control to restrict freedom and leave victim-survivors trapped in dangerous situations. Sign our pledge to stand in support of victim-survivors: survivingeconomicabuse.org/eaad2024

Thank you to everyone that supported the event, it was fantastic to speak to so many people! We all have a role to play to tackle domestic abuse and raising awareness is a key part. #WhiteRibbon #EveryonesBusiness #ItStartsWithMen

Over the weekend, we were at the Forum, highlighting the important work that we do across our local communities and raising awareness of the White Ribbon movement.

Today kick starts #16Days of Activism and the anniversary of the stalking legislation. The Trust works to eliminate violence against women and girls through campaigns, education, and support, to ensure that what happened to Suzy doesn’t happen to anyone else. #righttobesafe

We’re proud to partner with @MetroUK on the This Is Not Right campaign. Violence against women is an epidemic: over 100 women in the UK are killed by men yearly, yet awareness remains low. This campaign will educate, engage & empower change. Learn more metro.co.uk/2024/11/25/int…

Today is #WhiteRibbon Day and a reminder of the collective responsibility we have to tackle all forms of violence against women and girls. We must raise awareness of the many forms this takes and of the support available for those experiencing it. #itstartswithmen
