a lot of people struggle to even say the word violence. that's something we want to practice either in order to remove that veer 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, marcia, 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 thing and they make their realistic of how it takes you to reinforce by one in 3 women world wide build that in austria, one in 5 women suffer violence from their partner at least once in their lives, in agony, part of it often, the secret gidgit only the scale of the thing that motivates me to take action. i

spending 6 months in a women's shelter, it was here that she found refuge with her 5 year old son security college cut. of course i feel the sadness to you this was the place where we felt very impress 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. that's good. oh yes, we have a very long waiting list, sir. 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 weekly food, our focus is on helping women find stability and come on food and find ways of getting a new start in life, us hardware or my strength using it and what are my needs, my desires,

but you have, and it's also about bringing a bit of lightness into their life, life 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. monkwood offer twisted off on it a fab you off even if you introduce new ideas on. yeah, on dish. is that at all? but i'll carry on. i till i find a way of sticking stella isn't it has done classy and tried 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 ah, being unable to exit an abusive relationship can have fatal consequences.

high risk relationships can end in manslaughter or murder, an area in which jane mountain smith has discovered recurring patterns. the criminologist applies those insights to so called cold cases. very often, domestic appeasement is, can look as if they're, they've just hummed spontaneously to people of hot 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 progression and 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. and events such as a separation makes the man feel he's losing control. the situation escalates into 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? is we couldn't find an explanation as to why he'd got the and an e mail at the same time that she got it. how did, why was that? why was that even possible? and thus when we started to think, is he tracking and phone? has he got duplication? software is everything that she getting also being sent to him because actually that is that is a huge deck and it's classic stalker behavior. they want to know absolutely everything. 90 percent of them aside cases are preceded by stalking. the

police subsequently arrested the husband in question. why couldn't they see that this was a homicide? gus that needs to change doesn't that, that lack of suspicion that is curio st. with her model, the police might have intervened in advance and in time, nice to say, let me recently already know, went on. that's why probation officer, laura donnelly, has been using the 8 stages to train her team. well, you know, can you, i mean, are you finding that your own personal offices 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 a 1000 staff on your 8 stages. and they love the fact that it's and it's simple,

but really, really supportive it and helping and their risk assessments 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 trick is come about everybody's aware. and that's the thing. it's the a stages just was just puts 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 jane martin smith is convinced that understanding coercive behavior can help

emit. but also by, for me, violence is never a solution or whether it's a push or a laugh, or an actual punch. largest e. glad domestic violence always takes place with the curtains closed on in private at home. when nobody else sees it is dish. that's why it's important to stand up and raise awareness about the problem all by making it more public. describe what the campaign is about taking a stand for equality breaking down, stereotypical gender roles, challenging the power structures that enable and encourage violence against women. the no domestic abuse project and marble, one european union funding. it has the support of the city authorities as well as local groups. the women helping women association provides counseling and support and a youth conflict prevention group works with perpetrators. and so the latter works with behavioral training for 6 months. participants attend the program headed by
