Clare Walker Campaigning for Change
Most recently, Clare Walker has been campaigning for change and raising awareness of Domestic Abuse and Coercive Control, throughout the COVID Pandemic. Clare was interviewed on BBC News, The initial story broke on 27 May 2020, with an article on the BBC News website followed by BBC New and Radio interviews.
In the days following this, Clare was contacted by David Challen who asked if he could quote Clare in The Observer (31/05/20) article he did, which was to mark a year on since his mother; Sally Challen was released from prison, and reflecting on what has changed since her release regarding Coercive Control. Which tragically is little to no change.
A Barrister from St. Ives Chambers, requested I participate as a Guest Speaker alongside Dr Emma Katz. This event was a recorded webinar (04/06/20) the topic was Coercive Control and Family Court failings. You can watch the webinar here.
Clare was also contacted by Lord Louis Selwyn, Honourary Chair of the Clinical Commissioning Group Association in the House of Lords. Clare was invited to speak on the topic of Coercive Control and looking at how health services are designed and commissioned – for victims of Domestic Abuse, there are quite a few changes that could be made to enable a health practitioner to respond appropriately, efficiently and with compassion. Clare was also invited to complete a 2 page article on Domestic Abuse and Coercive Control to be published in the next edition of the CCGA Journal.

Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse
As a Campaigner against Domestic abuse in all its forms Clare Walker aims to change global society views of Domestic abuse, to stop blaming victims, to stop punishing victims for activities they had no say, understanding or control of.
Clare having been a victim herself many years ago, has first-hand experience of the effects and how they can present, as well as the entangled confusion and complexity of a power and control based intimate relationship.
Clare has since become a Domestic Abuse Consultant with over 20 years’ experience of domestic abuse, who uses her knowledge expertise and wisdom to fuel change through campaigning and activism.
Clare’s aim is to raise awareness of domestic abuse, to improve knowledge, skills and practice of professionals – ultimately improving the experience of services to the victims; be they adults or children.
Clare is also a member of Womens’ International League for Peace and Freedom where Clare links in locally at grass roots level as well as with the International Community on addressing the wider picture of violence against women and girls from conflict zones and into the home.
