Talking about domestic abuse
Women's Aid is the national domestic violence charity in England and they launched a national domestic violence awareness campaign involving celebrities with fake bruises. If those bruises are fake to give you a idea about domestic violence in the world, not only in England.
What does it take to get people talking about domestic abuse?
Woman from this campaign prints are: ANNA FRIEL, FERN BRITTON, JEMMA KIDD, FAY RIPLEY, ANNE-MARIE DUFF, MIQUITA OLIVER, FIONA BRUCE, HONOR BLACKMAN, KATE THORNTON. Advertising agency: Grey London
Take a good look at those ad prints and admit domestic abuse is a problem and talk to someone about it.

I think that its quite a shame that people have nothing to say when it comes to women and child abuse come on guys let's speak out and break the silence.
sometimes a man has an
sometimes a man has an inability to express his emotions verbally, so he expresses them with punches to the eye and to the gut.
Sorry but they asked for it.

A Man's inability to express
A Man's inability to express himself other than through physical or emotional abuse is clearly a major disfunction. What attracts women to these men? Don't forget these men have mothers. Surely they are partly responsible.
What about the men and
What about the men and children battered by vicious, violent, abusive women. Women are not angels, very few are. no-one deserves to be hit, the women start the trouble 99% of the time then when the men defend themselves the women go screaming to the police. If this continues the real women victims will be ignored- remember the boy who cried wolf!
Anonymous.. who ever you
Anonymous.. who ever you are, I really hope that comment was posted to try and spark some kind of debate about this as the comment "The women start the trouble 99% of the time" is just complete rubbish, however if you do believe that, then you are living in some fantasy world .. and exactly how many "vicious, violent, abusive women" have you encountered in your life..
@ Matt. I agree with you.
@ Matt. I agree with you. That Anonymous is just plain stupid from MANCHESTER, UK. (ip location told me that)
that is horrible, someone do
that is horrible, someone do some thing NOW!
the last anonymous who said
the last anonymous who said " that is horrible someone do something now" why do you stop ordering others around and do something about it yourself. this is a major issue and just sitting here and saying someone do something isnt going to change a thing. If you really believe it like you claim to why dont YOU be that someone and do something yourself.
Women often do start
Women often do start trouble, egging the men on assuming they won't be hit... and if they do get hit the police are there to save them. That's why I keep mine locked up in the basement, chained to the laundry machine.
I don't care.
I don't care.
Why use fake bruises?
Why use fake bruises? Aren't there enough real ones? If the topic is domestic abuse, where are the faked photos of men who have been abused by their wives? Or poisoned? Or emasculated?
disgracful.. you know who im
disgracful.. you know who im talkin to
Fantastic!...its about time
Fantastic!...its about time people saw the reality of domestic abuse. Too many women are living in fear and dying as a result of domestic abuse. People have no understanding of the reasons behind why a woman stays in an abusive relationship which leads to a lack of support in the general community. Emotional abuse is just as horrific and its unfortunate that the marks and scars borne from this cannot be shown in pictures. Anonymous who thinks women start trouble 99% of the time and men are only defending themselves sounds like a real "charmer" in the making!!!
