Women's Aid is reminding the public to be mindful of the language they use when discussing high-profile cases involving domestic abuse.
Their advice comes in the wake of the multi-million dollar libel case between Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Herd.
Last night, jurors in the US concluded Johnny Depp was defamed by an article written by Amber Heard, in which she described herself as a victim of sexual abuse.
CEO of Women's Aid Sarah Benson has this advice for people navigating conversations around domestic abuse in the coming days.
"I think we all need to be very mindful that domestic abuse is very prevalent, one in four women in this country will experience it, and there's a smaller proportion of men.
"I think we need to be mindful in all of our communications, across all our platforms that there are survivors out there, who pay attention, who may be feeling isolated, and they're part of our audience as well."
