According to Refuge, the UK's largest specialist domestic abuse organisation, one woman is killed by a current or former partner every five days, police receive a domestic abuse-related call every 30 seconds, and one in four women will experience domestic abuse during their lifetime. “It’s incredibly disappointing that perpetrators of domestic abuse will not be exempt from the early release scheme,” she said.
