Anthony Parrish Jones Myers partner
The initiative, called 16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence, starts on November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and finishes on International Human Rights Day on December 10th.
The campaign brings together individuals, organisations, and communities to promote a world free from domestic violence.
Jones Myers Partner, Anthony Parrish, highlights how domestic violence occurs in all levels of society - regardless of race, gender, wealth, or age.
Victims of its devastating effects - which can be emotional, physical, or sexual - feel wide-ranging negative emotions such as anger, shame, fear, isolation, resentment with many self-harming.
Many parents who are subjected to domestic violence are also anxious of its impact on children, fearing that they too can become targets.
If you are a victim, Jones Myers can provide legal assistance to victims and their families who require protection from their abusers.
With extensive experience in high conflict cases, we help victims to take out emergency applications and injunctions.
They include a Non-Molestation Order and an Occupation Order made by the Court which protects you and your children from abuse or harassment by your partner or spouse and prevents them from living in your home.
In confidential consultations, our highly skilled and sensitive family law specialists discuss all your options and advise on the way forward.
Organisations which assist with domestic violence include IDAS, Yorkshire’s largest specialist charity. Supporting those affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence, it also offers a free online Live Chat support for survivors. Visit www.idas.org.uk
