Happy Mondays singer Rowetta is supporting Greater Manchester Police as part of a national week of action to tackle domestic abuse (4 – 8 March 2014).
As a former victim of domestic abuse, Rowetta has joined forces with GMP to encourage other victims to come forward.
During the week of action, officers will be targeting known and wanted offenders with the aim of bringing perpetrators of domestic abuse to justice. There will be an increase in police activity during the week and officers will be arresting these offenders and protecting their victims from future violence.
In the last twelve months there has been a 1% increase* in the number of reports received of domestic abuse and the issue remains a top priority for GMP.
As well as seeking and arresting known offenders, specialist officers along with Independent Domestic Violence Advisors (IDVAs) and the probation service will also be visiting known victims of domestic abuse to provide them with help and advice.
Detective Chief Superintendent Vanessa Jardine, Head of the Public Protection Division said: “Tackling domestic violence is a priority for GMP all year round but this week of action allows us to highlight the work taking place with our partners to eradicate the region of these terrible crimes.
“Victims of domestic abuse and serious sexual assaults are some of the most vulnerable members of our society and we will be targeting known and persistent offenders throughout the week, utilising a range of powers in order to bring these people to justice and protect their victims.
“Over the last year we’ve seen an increase in the number of people coming forward to tell us about their suffering but we’d like more victims to have the confidence to seek help and put a stop to the vicious circle of domestic abuse they often find themselves in.”
Rowetta described her own experience of domestic abuse: “I met my ex-husband at 16. By the time I was 18 I was married with two children and his aggression towards me got gradually worse. At first it was an occasional slap which was always followed by a plea for forgiveness.”
As in many cases the violence didn’t stop there. She continued: “It became unbearable after he became addicted to heroin. The violence escalated very quickly and I became more and more frightened for my life. I tried to leave, but didn’t think I had anywhere to go and I lived in hope that he would change as I thought I loved him and he would always tell me how sorry he was afterwards and that he loved me.
“The turning point for me came after one particular night full of beatings and torture I took four sleeping tablets, not to kill myself but enough to knock me out. When I was visited by police in the morning at hospital they advised me not to return home and they contacted to Woman’s Aid and found a place for me in a refuge.”
The public are also being reminded of the use of Clare’s Law which allows members of the public to enquire about their partner or a partner of someone they knows past if they suspect a violent past.
Rowetta added: “Love isn’t meant to hurt. Love isn’t violent. Don’t stay for your children. Leave for your children. Leave for yourself.
“There is so much more help and understanding out there now than when I was suffering. Start a plan to leave and end the fear.”
Victims of domestic abuse should call the police on 101 or the Greater Manchester Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0161 636 7525. Alternatively please visit endthefear.co.uk.
Always call 999 in an emergency where there is a risk to life or crime in progress.

I’m quite sure that there should be a Helpline for anyone addicted to the 100 Strangers Project, as I was out again this afternoon looking for another one. I’m completely hooked! I saw a couple of people but they weren’t interested so I thanked them and continued my search. As I turned the corner into the road that has a restaurant in it with a terrace, I saw someone sitting at the table wearing a hat that looked interesting. As I got closer I realised that I recognised the hat and the man wearing it. It was a fellow Flickr member who lives in Etampes and I met for the first time a few years ago. I couldn’t possible call Jacky Corbel a stranger. But I did sit down for a chat with him and his friend.
Eventually after a long chat and a coffee I thought it was time I found this stranger and although some other people who I didn’t know joined us, none of them liked the idea of having their photos taken. So I left them and continued my search. Saw and asked some more people, but they said no too, by which time I had been out far longer than I intended to be, so turned round and headed home. Surely there’d be someone. Just as I turned into the main square I saw someone walking towards me who looked like a hopeful. When he was close enough I asked if he had some time and he asked why, so I explained and he said yes, he’d take part.
Meet Prince, he’s 32 and is a film director. He was born in Togo but lives in Germany and is in France making his first film. I forgot to ask why he was in Etampes, but my guess is that he was looking for locations for his film as Etampes has featured in several films already. He’s not married and hasn’t got any children. When he’s not working he writes his screenplays, watches TV and videos.
I looked around me for a place to take his photos the sun was right behind me, but it was going to make it uncomfortable for Prince. Being a film director and possibly a mind reader too he asked if I wanted to find a different location to take his photo. I do like taking photos of someone who know what he’s doing! So we moved into a small side road and I took my first photo of him. The background wasn’t great, a muddle of exterior air vents. The photo was OK, but I asked if we could move to a more attractive spot. No problem, so I moved him to another side road and took the other three photos. We looked through them and both agreed that the first and second were the best of the four I took. I have chosen the main shot as it was the best and the complimentary photo (my third of him) as he looked very similar in the first two I took and the last. I then asked what he hadn’t liked eating as a child and caught my last photo. He didn’t like a vegetable from Togo called “Gombo.” Apparently when it’s cooked it resembles cooked cheese and he didn’t like the stringiness of it.

When I’d finished taking his photo I leant on a wall to write my notes and we chatted about this and that once I’d finished. Prince was really interesting and it was a pleasure to have met him. Another time I find a Film producer to photo I’ll take his word that a horrible looking alley might really be the best place to take his portrait. I gave him the details of where to find his photos and wished him good luck before we both went out separate ways.

Greater Manchester Police invited members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities to join them and partners for a panel discussion on domestic abuse.
The event on Monday 18 August was held in the run up to Pride. It was supported by Victim Support, the Women’s Domestic Abuse Helpline, Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester’s Police and Crime Commissioner and the Lesbian and Gay Foundation. It was an opportunity for those who may be concerned about domestic abuse to come along and ask any questions they may have on the issue or even just listen to what the panel will have to say.
Greater Manchester Police Detective Chief Superintendent Vanessa Jardine, said: “We know that domestic abuse will be occurring within the LGBT community. We want to encourage victims and friends and family of victims to report the issue and have the confidence to come forward.
“There will be many people who are not aware of the processes in place once a crime is reported to police and by having this open forum I want to be able to dispel some myths and give people the confidence to report crimes in the knowledge that it will be dealt with appropriately.”
Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Jim Battle said: “The sad reality is that domestic violence affects our communities, including the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans communities.
“It’s really important that police and other agencies understand the sensitivities and concerns of different communities and the barriers that exist which prevent people from coming forward. By working with organisations like the Lesbian and Gay Foundation we can help build confidence which is why I warmly welcome this event.
“The most important message is that it doesn’t matter who you are – gay or straight, male or female, young or old, rich or poor – support is out there if you are suffering domestic abuse.”
Lucy Rolfe, wellbeing manager for the Lesbian and Gay Foundation, said: “Having supported a number of LGB&T people who are experiencing domestic abuse, I've been shocked by the number of barriers they face in accessing the support they need.
“Domestic abuse is an issue surrounded by gender stereotypes; every poster or campaign portrays a female victim and a male perpetrator. This only adds to the fear held by many LGB&T people, that if they speak up, they won't be believed or taken seriously. If we are to tackle LGB&T domestic abuse, then we need to start by working together to stamp out this stigma, by considering our attitudes and language, only then will we be able to encourage people to speak up."
Cllr Bernard Priest, Manchester City Council’s deputy leader, said: “Domestic abuse can take many forms, from controlling behaviour to violence, and can affect members of all our communities. However, it is always unacceptable and in many cases the real tragedy is the number of people who don't report the abuse, either because they're afraid or because they don't believe anyone will take their complaint seriously.
“I want urge anyone who has been a victim of domestic abuse, regardless of their gender, race or sexual orientation, to come forward. I would like to invite all members of the LGBT community to come to this event, take part in the discussion and find out more about the services that are available.”

Greater Manchester Police invited members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities to join them and partners for a panel discussion on domestic abuse.
The event on Monday 18 August was held in the run up to Pride. It was supported by Victim Support, the Women’s Domestic Abuse Helpline, Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester’s Police and Crime Commissioner and the Lesbian and Gay Foundation. It was an opportunity for those who may be concerned about domestic abuse to come along and ask any questions they may have on the issue or even just listen to what the panel will have to say.
Greater Manchester Police Detective Chief Superintendent Vanessa Jardine, said: “We know that domestic abuse will be occurring within the LGBT community. We want to encourage victims and friends and family of victims to report the issue and have the confidence to come forward.
“There will be many people who are not aware of the processes in place once a crime is reported to police and by having this open forum I want to be able to dispel some myths and give people the confidence to report crimes in the knowledge that it will be dealt with appropriately.”
Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Jim Battle said: “The sad reality is that domestic violence affects our communities, including the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans communities.
“It’s really important that police and other agencies understand the sensitivities and concerns of different communities and the barriers that exist which prevent people from coming forward. By working with organisations like the Lesbian and Gay Foundation we can help build confidence which is why I warmly welcome this event.
“The most important message is that it doesn’t matter who you are – gay or straight, male or female, young or old, rich or poor – support is out there if you are suffering domestic abuse.”
Lucy Rolfe, wellbeing manager for the Lesbian and Gay Foundation, said: “Having supported a number of LGB&T people who are experiencing domestic abuse, I've been shocked by the number of barriers they face in accessing the support they need.
“Domestic abuse is an issue surrounded by gender stereotypes; every poster or campaign portrays a female victim and a male perpetrator. This only adds to the fear held by many LGB&T people, that if they speak up, they won't be believed or taken seriously. If we are to tackle LGB&T domestic abuse, then we need to start by working together to stamp out this stigma, by considering our attitudes and language, only then will we be able to encourage people to speak up."
Cllr Bernard Priest, Manchester City Council’s deputy leader, said: “Domestic abuse can take many forms, from controlling behaviour to violence, and can affect members of all our communities. However, it is always unacceptable and in many cases the real tragedy is the number of people who don't report the abuse, either because they're afraid or because they don't believe anyone will take their complaint seriously.
“I want urge anyone who has been a victim of domestic abuse, regardless of their gender, race or sexual orientation, to come forward. I would like to invite all members of the LGBT community to come to this event, take part in the discussion and find out more about the services that are available.”

A Greater Manchester Police officer uses a shoulder-mounted camera to record an interview with a victim of domestic abuse.
Over the eight days that England played football matches and the days following each England game at the 2010 World Cup, a total of 2,022 Domestic Abuse incidents were recorded, which is an increase of 15.4% compared to the same period in 2009. Previous research has also shown that incidents can increase by up to 30 per cent on England match days.
Supporting the End The Fear campaign are the 10 local authorities, Greater Manchester Police, the Greater Manchester Domestic Abuse Helpline and Greater Manchester Public Health Network, who have come together to urge domestic abuse victims, their friends and families, as well as those committing the abuse, to seek help and support in the run up to and during Euro 2012.
Assistant Chief Constable Steve Heywood, GMP’s lead on Domestic Abuse said: “While we realise that many of the football fans in Greater Manchester are law abiding citizens, there are a number of people who use the tensions created by football matches, to justify abusing their partner.
“Statistics show that violence increases around major football matches due to the heightened tensions and increase in alcohol consumption, so we want to urge victims, their friends and families not to wait, but to seek help and advice immediately before the abuse escalates.
“The End The Fear campaign will see Greater Manchester Police crackdown on abusive behaviour during the tournament by carrying out bail and curfew checks, monitoring pubs and will also advise potential victims on how they can protect themselves.
“We will have specialist domestic abuse officers and dedicated response cars on duty at key times during the tournament to ensure that full support is available to those in need. Our partner agencies also provide valuable help for victims.
“We want everyone to be able to enjoy Euro 2012 safely and are not looking to stop fans celebrating or commiserating their team’s performance, we just ask that they act in an appropriate and respectable manner. Support services are available for them to get help, but if they choose to become violent or abusive then we will arrest them and ensure that they are brought to justice. Our priority is to protect victims.”
A hard-hitting poster incorporating a bloodied football shirt, including tear-off slips with the Domestic Abuse Helpline number, will be displayed in locations such as hospitals, doctor’s surgeries and licensed premises.
Information cards will also be distributed providing domestic abuse victims, their friends and families and perpetrators with some key contact numbers for support services.
Karen Harrison, Domestic Abuse Helpline, said: “Our helpline, which has run for over 30 years, sees an increase in calls around major sporting events and often incidences are related to people drinking more.
“We are very encouraged that Greater Manchester as a region has come together with a strong voice against domestic abuse during Euro 2012. Our message is seek help as soon as possible, even if it is just to find out your options, and remember that local support is available. If you are a victim of domestic abuse or know someone who is then call the Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0161 636 7525.”
