Public lecture set up by sufferers of abuse
Break the silence on abuse - that's the subject of a public lecture designed to make victims feel safe, strong and secure enough to unmask it.
The 'Speak Up and Speak Out' event is being hosted by an Island-based independent advisory charity - set up by people who have suffered abuse.
It follows statistics released in the Chief Constable's Annual Report 2015/16 - showing a 56 per cent increase in cases of domestic abuse every year.
It'll take place at the Manx Legion Club in Douglas from 7:30pm on Monday (5 September).
Marcia K Brabbs is one of the speakers:
Health Minister says work is 'underway' on access road to The Roundhouse
Higher taxi tariff now in force from 11pm
Private members bill regarding Bishop’s vote makes progress
Braddan Commissioner 'refutes' allegations of misrepresenting Roundhouse access issues
Disqualification for driver who was three times the drug limit
