More details
my sister was murdered by her partner in an act of domestic violence killed in her sleep. She was a beautiful soul, a loving mother and now her little girl is grew up without her mum! Domestic violence doesn’t just affect adults it shatters children’s lives too. Kids witness abuse, grow up in fear, and many are left to deal with trauma, grief, or even the loss of a parent. Yet in schools, we barely talk about it.
