[…] The Domestic Violence Awareness Issue of the MockingOwl Roost (2024) […]
Hi there,
I’m Ava, and I’m a member of a Women’s Rights action group. I head our anti-domestic violence activity (a BURNING subject, especially nowadays). One of my tasks is to find out how aware people are of the crazy increase in domestic abuse cases in the last period.
I came across your site and found some great and useful material there (so thanks for that!). But while I was searching, I also found this page: https://www.mysticmag.com/psychic-reading/domestic-violence-resource-guide/. It’s a full GLOBAL list of international help centers and organizations for sisters all over the world. I’ve seen nothing like that anywhere online!
Many victims don’t know whom to turn to and their friends don’t know how to help, especially if the victim is in another country. Can you add it to your page here: https://www.mockingowlroost.com/blog/domestic-violence-awareness-24/? If I got to your page, many others will and we can help victims during these crazy times!
Thanks a bunch!
Stay safe,
Ava
