Long term decisons for a brighter future
Campaigning Against Domestic Violence in Women and Children
Together we can break the silence and bring a voice to domestic violence.
20,464 people in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire will have experienced domestic abuse in the previous 12 months and 79,362 persons will have experienced domestic abuse over their lifetime, 56,756 women and 22,606 men. These figures are alarming and cannot be ignored. I will be working alongside a charity called Juno based in Nottingham City, to create awareness, let people know there is someone to help and donating my time to assist the charity in the great work they do. I recently held a community event, highlighting the importance of creating awareness of domestic violence and trying to let women and children know we are here for them. Let's actively start making some changes to peoples lives. Amina Quraishi
