Fair play to the reds who have put rivalries to one side, and got involved in this.

Is it a thing now to put "she/her" when you sign a letter or e-mail? The world gets madder every day.

Well done David, I'm sure that the number of people that this money could help will be far greater than stated in the letter when your fundraiser ends. Although the lady states "27 women" in her letter, I am assuming it could also help men who find themselves in the same situation?

From the Refuge website, they state: "Refuge supports women,children & men experiencing domestic violence with a range of services".
Well done Dave for setting this up and I'd hope more donations will follow.

Thanks. Of course I'm happy whichever genders it helps, was just interested to know.

How about splitting the funds so that a men's help organisation can be helped too? Refuge also provide help for men.

It’s rife in NHS management too, as is a declaration about what book you are reading ‘This week I am reading …’ (not sure the origin of this one). Email signatures are getting very long, detailed and personal! Legas (them / there / that) This week I am reading Viz

As per the response from Refuge they are based upon helping women: www.refuge.org.uk and calling them confirms this. If you look at their page for men: www.refuge.org.uk/get-help-now/help-for-men/It says "You may also be visiting this site because you think you may be an abuser." The gender bias is incredible. They advise men to contact: mensadviceline.org.ukTherefore perhaps half of the funds could be given to the organisation to help men or perhaps give all to the Samaritans who don't judge based upon gender?

There’s nothing stopping you from setting up your own fundraiser for any of the charities you’ve mentioned if you would like to?

I thought the idea was to unite Gasheads against all forms of domestic violence rather than pick and chose a gender?

There’s nothing stopping you from setting up your own fundraiser for any of the charities you’ve mentioned if you would like to? I thought the idea was to unite Gasheads against all forms of domestic violence rather than pick and chose a gender? The initial appeal was clear to me: One woman in four will experience domestic violence at some point in her lifetime and two women are killed each week in England and Wales by a current or former partner. Refuge supports around 6,000 women & children on any given day, experiencing domestic and sexual violence, female genital mutilation, forced marriage, stalking, trafficking, prostitution & so-called ‘honour’ based violence. By kindly sponsoring me today you are helping to save and change the lives of thousands of women and children escaping domestic violence. Thank you.
