9:37 am
issue with someone. and i, a lot of people struggle to even say the word violence of what he, that is something we want to practice either in order to remove that vizier even does. one can be shy, math for raising awareness is important, but government involvement is essential since 2011 the istanbul convention on combating violence against women has been ratified by over 30 european countries. signatories commit to supporting measures such as prevention, through education, increasing shelter capacity, and ensuring a protected punishment for perpetrators calling the istanbul convention. an important breakthrough, maria, who said humor, adds that implementation is often problematic. in fact, turkey itself recently withdrew from the agreement. give iceland, islands against women is the biggest and their mccleary list of how it's executed, reinforced by one and 3 women worldwide been fed in austria, one and 5 women suffer violence from their partner at least once in their lives,

9:40 am
doubles that hurdle to hear that feel if a lot of women had no way of getting out if you, if they were unable to phone anybody or go to a shelter house, it was impossible to escape, which is while we've expanded our online counseling service, it's now staffed every evening from 7 till 10, and it's working pretty well. in the 1st 9 months of the pandemic, the hotline had already fielded over $1000.00 calls. studies showed that when quarantine at home is combined with financial worries and mental health problems, the risk of a relationship turning violent doubles. the pandemic is also an issue for the women who meet up as part of a local neighborhood project. they gather every 2 weeks to talk about violent relationships, including their own were human thought. anita odda almost died when her husband assaulted her. after 28 years of marriage, she reported him to the police family for stock military twice i attempted suicide,

9:42 am
perform each dongle. after spending 6 months in a women's shelter, it was here that she found refuge with her 5 year old son. beauty college cut. of course i feel the sadness to you. this was the place that we still 3 else has ankle, but her son was not permitted to stay with her following a court order that gave the father custody warmish dongle had not documented her injuries and therefore had no evidence of the physical abuse. she suffered this as to the shelters full right now. percent good. now yes, we have a very long waiting list of the women typically have to wait 6 months for a spot here. unlike the high security women's shelter, they are allowed to have visitors. but once it's done, bickley shoot, our focus is on helping women find stability and come on foot and find ways of
9:43 am
getting a new start in life. us, how glad my strength and what am i night, my desire. but if it's awful about bringing a bit of lightness into their lives, like dish title and sleep, something hamish dongle has spent 5 years planning a new shelter designed to give residence a feeling of safety as well as comprehensive after care. the local authorities have refused to support the project, claiming that demand for a place like this is already satisfied when good, awful toys that are often a fab you off, even if you introduce new ideas or. yeah, on dish. she had a thought, but i'll carry on. i till i find a way of sticking. stella isn't to test than classy and shied it giving up is not an option for kwame stangler who is moved by the sheer number of women in need of help. she now wants to try crowdfunding. oh, lou, being unable to exit an abusive relationship can have fatal consequences.
9:44 am
high risk relationships can end in manslaughter or murder, an area in which jane mountain smith has discovered recurring patterns to criminology supplies those insights to so called cold cases. very often, domestic appeasement is, can look as if they're, they've just hummed spontaneously. 2 people have had an argument and this is just come out of the blue and, oh, goodness may, you know, this is just a mistake, but that's not how they happen. she established an 8 stage pattern of regression in the escalation of abusive relationships. in many cases, the man will have a previous record of violence. the initial romance rapidly becomes a serious relationship. the abuser exerts control over his partner, emotionally, financially, and socially. an event such as a separation makes the man feel he's losing control. the situation escalates into
9:45 am
stalking or threats of suicide. the man change his tactics as he seemingly leaves the victim alone. but now he's planning murder and carries it out. alexandra sand. m has been assisting jane mountain smith on an unsolved case dating back 3 years ago. when his wife died. the husband insisted it had been an accident . what did the police fail to see me if we couldn't find an explanation as to why he'd got they? and an email at the same time that she got it. how did, why was that? why was that even possible? and that's when we started to thank. is he tracking and found, has he got chiefly cash and software is everything that she getting. also being sent to him because actually that is, that is a huge stack and it's classic stalker behavior. they want to know absolutely
9:46 am
everything. 90 percent of them aside cases are preceded by stalking me. the police subsequently arrested the husband in question. why couldn't they say that this was a homicide gus that needs to change? doesn't that, that lack of suspicion that is curious with her model. the police might have intervened in advance and in time. nice to see. yeah. okay. let me quickly. i already know window. i'm out. that's why probation officer, laura donnelly, has been using the 8 stages to train her team. well, you're not, can you? i mean, are you finding that your own personal says and probation office is the using it? yes. most definitely. using the tool. yeah. i've had some feedback from them about how useful that finding it. well, that's really good. it's often difficult for the police to get a read on abusive relationships. and early detection scheme helps to ensure action is taken immediately. so we obviously did and trained over
9:47 am
a 1000 staff on your 8 stages and they love the fact that it's and it's simple, but really, really supportive and helping in their risk assessment. and some individuals with a history of domestic violence or given special attention by probation officer's, this one here, the british police now see stalking as an early warning of potential violence. he's aware the trigger stage is another one that people have talked really and given good feedback about because triggers is where we can identify those and then hopefully intervene at that point in time. so it's about recognizing what action we can put in place when those triggers come about everybody's aware. and that's the thing. it's the a stages just was just put it into an order for you cuz we all know the signs. i think when i 1st spoke to you about the 8 stages, that was what really came across to pay. it was like a light bulb maidment where it wasn't something new. that it was something that was structured and formed in a way that really helped clarify my thinking that was absolutely fabulous. laura is
