Domestic violence laws worldwide really sucks just like it does here in the United States I'm trying to change these laws here my girlfriend is a domestic violence survivor and just like her and thousands of other women each and every day they are failed by the system that is supposed to protect them
Eugene, destekleniyor: Review Legislation and Policies Enabling Police Misconduct in the Met Police ForceI was raped by my then husband,
I eventually reported this heinous crime to Essex police 26 years later and it was our daughter that found ‘him’ on LinkedIn when the police said they couldn’t. He was protected by the force he worked for and I was denied justice. I have absolutely no faith in the cps or police!
valerie, destekleniyor: Review Legislation and Policies Enabling Police Misconduct in the Met Police ForceDomestic abuse / violence is abhorrent. I know as I went through 6 yrs of hell in my 20s (I'm in my 60s now), culminating in me having a miscarriage after my then partner violently attacked me and pushed me down concrete steps.
Rape comes under "domestic abuse" for some reason: yes it often is, but it's also often by a complete stranger. It shouldn't matter how it starts - violently attacking someone sexually (male/female/trans) is abhorrent.
That any police officer has mocked a victim, in their hearing or not, is vile. Other people were obviously present and overheard this, and that says to me that this officer did not respect the victim, nor anyone around them.
I do not care about the sex, orientation or race of the victim - police officers are there to protect us all and uphold the law without fear or favour.
I never went to the police about the abuse I suffered, much to my shame. Not until the night I left and he threw everything of mine out onto the street from first and second storey windows - the police told him to to bring it back in and let me know (my Dad had picked me up by then at 10.30pm) and said to return the next day with a police escort to collect it (which I did). They pretty much told me there was nothing they could do beyond that.
I ended up paying for everything left in the flat - furniture etc as it was in joint names so joint/several liability kicked in when he refused to pay! I lost the balance in my bank account too - that he'd persuaded me to put into joint names, but only ever had my salary paid into - he got paid in cash and spent most of it in the pub!
In my early 20s I was very naive and put up with utter crap for 6 yrs.
I learned to speak up and helped get a policy about domestic abuse through my trade union (the first to do so in the UK), but have largely, stayed silent about my own situation and mental struggles since.
Rape and abuse scars people long-term. To know that someone who's supposed to uphold the law may have mocked you when making that initial report, would add to the abuse. I cannot comprehend why any serving police officer would do that.
I hope the UK government's stated policy of action on violence against women and girls is really taken seriously and real action is taken. That has to include a review of how law enforcement and medical people deal with calls, interviews etc, as well as the courts process. Proper support need to be put in place too for the victims, so that they get the help they need to cope.
Well done for starting this petition.
Cathy, destekleniyor: Review Legislation and Policies Enabling Police Misconduct in the Met Police ForceIt took 25 years for police to take seriously my reports of being raped. During which time my abuser offended against others. The judge called my abuser extremely dangerous and possibly psychopathic.
Finally I was believed and the detectives dealing with the case were amazing (and also women). I dread to think what the attitudes of the male officers were to my reports and the comments they would have shared between each other.
This goes beyond an institutional issue and is deeply embedded within society.
But never give up, never give in and always keep reporting.
