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.

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.

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.
27 Nov 2024
The police recorded 851,062 domestic abuse-related crimes in England and Wales in YE March 2024. This was a decrease compared with the previous year (911,248), which, in part, reflects recent changes in police recording practices.
ALT Chart showing the police recorded approximately 1.4 million domestic abuse-related incidents and crimes in the year ending March 2024.

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.

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.

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/intro…

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
