Re: New Police idea
I don’t see this as hairdressers spying on women nor that a hairdresser would report you to police because you had an accidental injury.
It’s about raising their awareness of warning signs, teaching them where abused women may turn to for help, which enables them to offer support to an abused woman, whether it’s encouraging a woman to confide in them, encouraging them to report it, giving them information about refuges from domestic violence.
I read this article, which outlines the origins of this idea, and it seemed like a supportive thing to me.
