The secret Facebook groups where women shame their exes
Claire wanted to warn other women about her ex-partner, who abused her
It has left her with depression, and days where she feels unable to open the curtains, or leave the house. Allegations range from cheating and catfishing to serious abuse cases - with the alleged perpetrator's name, location and photo given."Just knowing that one person can be free from him," she says,"that feels like an accomplishment."An estimated 1.3 million UK women experienced some form of domestic abuse in the year ending March 2018, according to the Office for National Statistics. But only 18% of those who were targeted by their partner reported it to the police.
She also worries women joining the groups are"not getting the right expert information and support they need" from qualified professionals, and that images of domestic abuse on the pages risk causing psychological harm and triggering damaging memories. Feeling she had been let down, Marie's friend posted about the man in the group to warn others about him being near their children.By allowing any member to post allegations on the pages, though, there is also the risk that Prick Advisor will be used by some to post false claims.
