Warning: contains details of domestic violence.
This courageous woman has shared details of her abusive relationship. Through her bravery, her story has gone viral in the UK and has been reported in many of the main UK newspapers.
Her act of courage turns the light on to such a dark area of shame. Domestic abuse can affect anyone, from any environment. This woman, Emma, blogs on fitness and well-being.
Statistically, this issue is present in the lives of 1 in 4 women in New Zealand and Australia.
That's us. Or it has been us. Or it is someone we know.
It's no accident that I post this on a Friday. Fridays can be a Black Day for those in violent situations. It marks the beginning of what can be a miserable, dark, and terrifying weekend.
