23 Jul
Summary
- Woman seeks stronger UK protections for domestic abuse survivors.
- Ex-boyfriend made 116 calls and breached court order multiple times.
- Survivor campaigns for automatic extension of protection orders.

A UK woman is calling for improved legal safeguards for survivors of domestic abuse. Her former partner demonstrated a severe pattern of harassment and court order breaches.
This included contacting her 116 times within a single 24-hour period and appearing at her residence. After his conviction for these actions, the survivor found the process of extending her own protection order to be deeply distressing.
She is now actively campaigning to introduce legislation that would mandate automatic extensions of protection orders when existing ones have been violated, aiming to prevent further trauma for victims.
