She was told she would need to relocate to be offered refuge. Wanting to stay in her home city, she ended up staying in the abusive relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is why women feel they have no option but to stay with their perpetrator,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t feel supported at all. This is why I ended up in another abusive relationship.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout her 20s, Jessica was abused by two separate partners, and during a particularly dark time, it caused her \u201ctry to end&#8221; it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She reported the abuse both times, and eventually faced one of her perpetrators in court, but to her horror, he received only eight weeks for assault by beating and \u201cblew a kiss\u201d at her from the dock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jessica, 30, is now taking control and reclaiming her voice, speaking out against domestic abuse and raising awareness for the subject on social media and at vigils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She plans to take the stage this International Women\u2019s Day, speaking at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DGfmvNgs257\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\">Sheffield Women\u2019s Collective\u2019s (SWC) vigil<\/a> in the Peace Gardens on 8 March to share her story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"853\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7944-853x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"dd\n\" class=\"wp-image-71732\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jessica Lynam <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As a part of SWC\u2019s three-month campaign to help victims and survivors of domestic abuse by raising money for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheffieldwomensaid.org.uk\/\">Sheffield Women\u2019s Aid.<\/a> Jessica is speaking out about the abuse she suffered and how she feels \u201cthe blame is always on the woman\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She hopes by being using her voice and being open about her own experience Jessica will raise awareness and help other women.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her testimony comes at a crucial time. Last year, the new<a href=\"https:\/\/labour.org.uk\/updates\/stories\/labour-party-policy-crime-antisocial-behaviour-how-we-will-take-back-our-streets\/\"> Labour government <\/a>pledged to halve violence against women and girls (VAWG) within a decade, promising specialist courts and policing and tougher laws to support the 2 million women affected yearly by male violence and abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a year on and following the Autumn Budget and the Chancellor\u2019s speech, Labour seems to have stepped back from their initial promises, with no set funding planned, despite VAWG being declared a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.npcc.police.uk\/releases\/call-to-action-as-violence-against-women-and-girls-epidemic-deepens-1\">national emergency.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Labour party does have that desire and motivation to tackle violence against women and girls,&#8221; says Hollie Venn, the CEO of Women\u2019s Aid Sheffield. &#8220;[But] what we\u2019re not seeing is those words translated into funding and projects\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She explains funding is essential for tackling domestic abuse as a national emergency, and Women\u2019s Aid have had to \u201cbeg and plead for funding for [their] services\u201d. Specialist work has been put into place in some areas, such as in Northumbria where police control rooms have stationed domestic abuse specialists to take calls, but Venn feels it is \u201cdisappointing specialist organisations like [Women\u2019s Aid] haven\u2019t been asked to deliver the work,\u201d when they have 50 years of dealing with domestic abuse cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not only charities such as Women\u2019s Aid who feel let down by the lack of communication from the government, survivors, including Jessica, have said the fact that the  government are not showing any signs of delivering on their promises is \u201cfurther insult to injury\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a local level, grassroots organisations such as SWC are stepping in to amplify victims\u2019 and survivors&#8217; voices as the government fails to show any sign of delivering on their promises. Venn believes groups like these are \u201cessential\u201d to battling violence against women and girls, since Women\u2019s Aid themselves started as a grassroots feminist organisation in the 1970s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amber Millar, one of the founders of SWC, also highlights why grassroots organisations are important.  \u201cWith volunteer led and not for profit groups, you know that those involved have a personal commitment to the cause,&#8221; she says. &#8220;With local groups, we can focus on local issues, and help local charities, such as our fundraising efforts for Sheffield Women\u2019s Aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We want to focus on calling it what it is &#8211; men\u2019s violence against women and girls. There is no mystery entity committing this abuse. We need to educate young people on what abuse is and how to identify it. We need to have conversations with boys and young men about what is and isn\u2019t healthy behaviour in a relationship, especially when we\u2019re seeing the rise of \u2018influencer\u2019s\u2019 like Andrew Tate, and we have a sexual predator as US president.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"435\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_7943-435x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71736\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Amber Miller. Credit: David Sanchez @david8photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving women like Jessica a platform to tell her story empowers women\u2019s voices, it removes the perpetrator from her story, and spotlights her own experiences and feelings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venn says this is an integral way to support women, and often it \u201chelps other women recognise what has happened to them\u201d. She explained when women do speak out, \u201ctheir confidence grows and they feel empowered to own their experience out of pride of being a survivor rather than the shame of being a \u2018victim\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jessica plans to continue using her voice to help other women and girls. As well as speaking at SWC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/index.php\/2025\/03\/03\/a-candlelit-vigil-organised-by-sheffield-womens-collective-is-set-to-be-held-this-international-womens-day\/\">International Women\u2019s Day vigil next week<\/a>, she has also recently started her own podcast \u2018Conversations That Matter\u2019, which she hosts live on TikTok. She currently has over 1,000 followers and hopes that it will only grow as she continues to speak both on her own lived experiences, and on other crimes against women and girls.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked what she would explain to a woman in the same position she was in at 19, she says: \u201cBe open and honest with your friends and family. If there\u2019s something that\u2019s being held against you, speak on it yourself. Take that power away from your abuser, don\u2019t let them hold that over you. It may be scary to leave and it may be intimidating, you may have to start all over again, but at least you are alive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Desperate for help, Jessica Lynam was 19 the first time she reached out for domestic abuse support.
