The government recently published data related to the number of people in treatment for substance use, covering April 23-24. The total number of adults in treatment is 310,863, an increase of 7% from the year before.    Here is our response 👇 https://t.co/Sk2RpgNaRn

STOP PUNISHING SURVIVORS. PROVIDE SUPPORT. Domestic abuse survivors are being unfairly criminalised. Many women are in prison as a direct result of their abuse—coerced into offending, punished for acting in self-defence, or facing malicious allegations as part of a pattern of coercive control. Did you know that 3 in 5 women in prison have experienced domestic abuse, and that Black, Asian, minoritised, and migrant women face disproportionate harm within the system? We’ve co-signed an open letter with over 100 organisations calling on the UK government to:  ✅ End the criminalisation of survivors of domestic abuse    ✅ Support survivors, rather than punish them   The time for action is now. Together, let’s ensure survivors receive support—not punishment. 📢 Read the full letter https://lnkd.in/ep8rW3ur and join us in calling for change. #StopPunishingSurvivors #DomesticAbuse #WomensJustice
