Tiffany Lippett ,

Awareness & busting DV myths 🙌

It is really powerful to hear voice given publicly to the experiences shared by so many women and their children during and after leaving abusive relationships. It is empowering and uplifting to know you’re not alone, particularly if dealing with systemic responses that fail to recognise or adequately respond to domestic violence. These are great examples of hope and a more positive way forward. Thank you!
