Women’s Aid X House of CB

October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and luxury fashion brand House of CB have teamed up with Women’s Aid – a charity who are working to end domestic violence against women and children – to help raise awareness of the issue. 

In particular, they are supporting the LoveRespect project, ran by Women’s Aid, which aims to educate young women on abusive relationships.

Domestic violence is classified as an incident, or pattern of incidents, of controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading and violent behaviour. It is estimated that 28.9% (4.8 million) of women aged between 16-59 have experienced some form of domestic violence since the age of 16.

The statistics are shocking, with police in England and Wales receiving over 100 calls per hour relating to domestic violence on average.

Conna Walker, the founder of House of CB, experienced a physically and mentally abusive relationship herself, when she was between the ages of 18-22. Thankfully, she had a supportive network of family and friends. However, unfortunately not everybody has that.
