Yesterday on International Day for Elimination of Violence of Women... I had a HM Courts & Tribunals Service court case in my appeal against the Tory DWP malpolicies and drops in support and unfair sanctioning on my journey of healing from DV as a survivor. I could not go and felt I was letting women down but the women survivors will understand it was the touching of the pain again and again and I had a choking panic attack.. my throat goes tight as if being strangled... Had many an attempt in my history of abuse of attempted strangulation.. So I emailed the courts to tell them of my inability to attend and submitted this blog as evidence of my front-line experience of failings of the DWP malpolicies to support women. CC my MP John McDonnell and bcc the acting PM.. My case compounded by also being a 1950s born women and denied my pension at 60 which would have given me some financial dignity and some peace to move forward and heal from the pain. I also informed Andy my representative from Z2K a charity helping vulnerable people that have been failed by DWP malpolicies. My representative attended tribunal & I have received an email to say THE JUDGE RULED IN MY FAVOUR and apologised for all the pain and that my case was not heard earlier....I HAVE HAD WOMEN'S VOICES HEARD... after this election no matter who is the PM we need URGENT REFORM OF POLICIES to support women survivors not batter them with drops in support... survivors have been financially crippled by perpetrators and we need reparation and a good financial pathway of support to help us heal, detox from ugliness of violence upon us and be allowed to rebuild our lives in peace not twanged back to the past and the pain over and over again with drops in support... each drop in support puts her life at risk... suicide from PTSD! and we need to recognised the complexity of the pain that some women 10 yrs 15 yrs and life time are affected physically, emotionally psychologically socially and financially... it is a serious crime from controlling violent perpetrators...
