🚨A disturbing new report from Femicide Census reveals that more women in the UK were killed by their sons than by strangers.

This finding is a stark reminder that violence against women extends beyond intimate partner violence. Of the 121 women killed by men that year, the majority were killed by current or former intimate partners, but the significant number killed by adult sons highlights a largely invisible form of domestic violence that receives little public attention or resources.

For every woman killed by her son, there are many others enduring serious violence and abuse. This violence often goes unrecognized and unreported because victims may not identify it as domestic abuse or believe that existing support services are available to them. The data underscores a critical gap in how we understand and address violence against women, including women experiencing abuse from their children. We must expand our conversations about domestic violence to include all forms of familial abuse and ensure that support services are accessible and responsive to victims regardless of their relationship to their abuser.

Reminder: Domestic violence can happen to anyone and is NEVER the victim or survivor’s fault. 💜
