ContentsQuote of the week"It is hard enough to build a sustainable organisation which achieves its objects over the long term and survives in a world of ever-changing demands and pressures with good governance mechanisms in place try to do it without a firm support structure, and you will find the work, the dreams and the people start to fray, to come apart at the seams, and rupture under strain.

These different forms are not mutually exclusive and multiple incidences of violence can be happening at once and reinforcing each other. Inequalities experienced by a person related to their race, (dis)ability, age, social class, religion, sexuality can also drive acts of violence.
