1/ Domestic abuse survivors are being denied justice by 6 month time limit on prosecuting common assault. Many obvious & serious reasons why survivors may take more time to report abuse. But time limit lets perpetrators off. Time to change #timeforjustice

2/ Women I’ve spoken to who showed incredible courage going to the police & ending abusive, violent relationships, still told that no action can be taken because it’s more than 6 months since assaults took place. Perpetrator gets away with it & can abuse again
3/ That’s why we have tabled a cross-party amendment to get justice for domestic abuse survivors. It would allow common assault charges in domestic abuse cases up to 6 months after reporting & up to 2 yrs after assault #NewClause60 #timeforjustice @womensaid @RefugeCharity #NC60
