Theresa May: 'Boris must step up the fight to end domestic abuse, just like The Sun'
MANY of us have found lockdown frustrating. We have missed our family and friends, missed going out or playing sport, missed living our lives.
And the plight of sufferers of domestic abuse — both adults and children — has not been forgotten during this pandemic.The Prime Minister hosted a virtual summit on the “Hidden Harms” people face behind closed doors.And shops such as Morrisons and Boots are providing safe spaces in store where customers facing abuse can access support.I first published the Bill last year as Prime Minister and it is now well on its way to becoming law.
Having this definition set out clearly in law will help the police take account of the whole range of domestic abuse — so more survivors can get the support and justice they deserve. Passing the Domestic Abuse Bill will be a big step in the right direction.
