Amber Rudd: Domestic violence must never be ignored
Today (Friday 25 November) is White Ribbon Day which highlights the global movement to put a stop to violence against women and girls.
In the UK, 1.3 million women are victims of domestic abuse every year and, in 2014-15, 81 women were killed by a current or former partner.
These are horrifying numbers and we must work together across society: through government, charities and as individual men and women to end this violence - every bruise or piece of psychological or emotional abuse is one too many.
