As people mark International Women’s Day across the globe – for many women experiencing physical, psychological, and economic abuse, there’s little to celebrate. This is the direct message from domestic abuse charity Refuge and McCann who have launched a collection of powerful poems revealing tales of domestic abuse. The collection of reversible poems tell opposing stories depending on which way they are read. From top to bottom they’re tales of loving relationships – but read from bottom to top and they reflect a very different reality; of coercion, control, abuse and violence. In England and Wales, 1 in 4 women will experience some form of domestic abuse in their lifetime, and its harmful impact on survivors can extend to many areas of their lives, including mental health, physical wellbeing and family safety. 95% of survivors are subjected to economic abuse too and, shockingly, two women die at the hands of their partner or ex-partner every week. The poems ‘Purse Strings’ and ‘Lovestruck’ tackle individual stories based on women’s experiences of economic and domestic abuse, there is also a shorter poem in Haiku style – all of which aim to raise awareness of abuse and a reminder that no one should suffer in silence, and Refuge is here to help.
