''Born in the 1990s, we are witnessing three of the biggest global crises in recent history: one is behind us, two lie ahead.'' Rarely in history a generation needed to be this creative before. One year ago we launched the AP, let's retrace its roots! https://t.co/0PYz5GbmB8

We must stop asking why doesn't she leave and start asking why doesn't HE stop. Research show how likely is for DV #perpetrators to reoffend. Perpetrator programmes might be key enabler of cultural change, in order to interrupt social patterns akin to the #patriarchal culture.
