'Bridging the Evidence Gap: Exploration of Domestic Abuse and Suicide' Online event, Tuesday 31 March, 2.00-4:30pm eventbrite.co.uk/e/bridging-… "The Centre for Crime, Law and Society at the University of Bristol welcomes Sarah Dangar, Rhianna Dorrian, Tim Woodhouse, Eleanor Watson and Camille Ilett, who will present their doctoral research on the growing link between domestic abuse and suicide. They will be joined by Fiona Drouet, MBE, and CEO and founder of EmilyTest @Emilytest12, who will speak about the loss of her daughter, Emily Drouet, following her experience of domestic abuse. Patricia Downey, who lost her daughter Michelle to suicide following abuse, will share a poem written by Michelle. The Domestic Homicide Project's annual statistics reveal that the number of deaths from domestic abuse-related suicide outweighs the number of deaths from intimate partner homicide in England and Wales. Despite this, there is no effective or uniform preventative or criminal response to these cases. Join in person and online on Microsoft Teams for a thought-provoking event where experts from various fields come together to tackle the challenges of domestic abuse-related suicide."
