For too long, stories of coercive control and post-separation abuse have only been shared in whispers. Too many women have been silenced: by partners, by themselves and by the systems they hoped would protect them.

The Write to be Heard project is giving survivors a voice. Within these pages, women who cannot safely be identified are reclaiming their words and calling for change.

This book is turning whispers into shouts. These women have a right to be heard.

This collection includes a written contribution from Fi Bool [Founder of Be More Dandelion], standing alongside other women calling for accountability, safety and systemic change.

"A searing collection that exposes the brutal reality of post-separation abuse and family court failures. Essential, urgent reading for anyone working in family justice — these voices demand to be heard."
Saskia Lightburn-Ritchie, Domestic Abuse Expert

"This book makes for very powerful, painful and inspiring reading and I really hope it is widely read, not just by the women who will feel the solidarity that comes from seeing their own experiences reflected on the page, but by the professionals who have the power to make the urgent changes needed."
Laura Riley, Founder of Mums In Need

"It's an absolute failing of our state that women are not able to speak freely about the abuse they’ve suffered at the hands of perpetrators and of our legal system, but these women show remarkable strength and bravery. How inspiring to see them turn their experience into such powerful words."
Jessica Bradley, Family Court Journalist

All funds raised from the sale of this book will be donated to Mums In Need — the only UK charity with the specific remit of supporting survivors of post-separation abuse.
