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.
Very sorry, I read 'Gasheads Against Domestic Violence' and wrongly assumed that it would include Domestic Violence against people regardless of 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? You know as well as I do that abuse is a male on female thing in the vast majority of cases. I expect you'll say you don't know that, but you, me and everyone else knows it actually is. So you're just putting up a meaningless distracting objection for reasons known only to you. Well done.

It's a worthy cause and delighted to donate and provide vital support for those unfortunate enough of having to rely on an organisation like Refuge.
It is great to get specific feedback from the Refuge to say 27 families will directly benefit.

It would only need about £300 in donations to meet the needs of male victims. Domestic violence is overwhelmingly a male on female crime.
