Domestic abuse in later life education, through training and consultancy services.

For the past year I have been writing about Invisible Women, Visible Women and Indomitable Women.

Real and fictional women who have been affected by domestic abuse and trauma.

For some they stay, unable to escape safely and exist.

Others have been able to escape the abuse and move forward, many thriving.

But there are women who don't escape and don't survive.

Every Friday I will write about these women who have been killed by a man they are personally connected to.

If you do not want to read this content please unsubscribe to the Visible Women Newsletter. The first newsletter will be published this Friday.
