CITY SECURITY MAGAZINE FEATURES THE IMPORTANT WORK OF CHARITY – The Corporate Alliance Against Domestic Violence (CAADV)


D


omestic violence is one of the world's most pernicious crimes and threats to


public safety, health and wellbeing. Domestic Violence is chronically under-reported, alarmingly prevalent and with victims from all age ranges, backgrounds, genders, cultures and beliefs. British Crime Survey statistics show us that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men experience domestic violence in their adult lives. This is a startling number when we begin to consider how this silent epidemic impacts on all sectors of society.


Suppose one of your colleagues were to receive a lovely bouquet of flowers, gorgeous purple emperor irises, at the office. You might think it was terribly romantic and very special.


What if, instead, these were the flowers her husband said he would put on her grave after he killed her for telling anyone about the physical and emotion abuse she has endured?


People who endure violence are just like you and me – there is no barrier to who will endure the pain of abuse. And yet we often think that this is an issue that does not affect us, let alone our work places. Yet it does.


With over 2.6 million people working every day in the UK there is a direct and dramatic impact to business – with lost productivity due to absenteeism, stress at work, changes in working hours, lateness or leaving early as well as having the perpetrator showing up at work. There are significant costs associated with replacing trained, talented staff who have had to leave their employment either to flee an abuser or not to have the abuse discovered. Like so many issues we face each day, there are people in our lives who face the reality of being battered and abused in the places they should feel safest, their homes and places of work.
