There’ve been ads for this for a few weeks now physically and digitally; it’s so sad that it’s necessary, but I’m glad it exists for those who need it.
Heatwave, alcohol and generational disappointment is a DV trifecta. It was already up 20% when we were making it through.
But “women are too emotional”
It’s devastating this even needs to be a post.
This is so bleak..
God I hate this.
Males (derogatory)
Couldn’t slip in a lil “You shouldn’t get violent over a game” or “A game isn’t worth your relationship” now could we?
Soccer fans need to calm the fuck down
It’s terrifying because there will be a lot of anger over this loss. I fear for anyone in an abusive situation. It’s a horrible statistic and an awful reality for so many.
Can you imagine hurting someone because you’re so upset your team lost? Like wow. What is humanity
Jesus, hope everyone out there is safe tonight.
Sadly – and disgustingly – this is something that has been well known for decades. I am showing my age but I remember reading about this as a college student in 1996 when England were knocked out by Germany.
Why are the campaigns geared towards the victims instead of the perpetrators of DV?
