Although I haven't experienced violence in a relationship, I know that two women every week in England and Wales are killed by their partner or ex-partner, and that unless we act now, many more women will die because of domestic violence.

What is politics, after all, but the compulsion to preside over property and make other peoples' decisions for them?
It doesn't take a bruise or a broken bone for a child to be a victim of domestic violence. Kids who witness domestic violence are victims, too.
Each and every child in this country is valuable because they are our future as a society. We cannot afford to lose a single child to ill-health, under-education, abuse, addiction, jail, or gun violence.

Domestic violence is often ignored as it usually happens behind closed doors and it can seem easier not to get involved.

I have been working with Women's Aid since 2003 when I became the charity's first Ambassador, and am so pleased to be able to be a part of the 'Real Man' campaign against domestic violence.

Just by speaking out against domestic violence and being supportive of those directly affected we can all make a positive difference.
