I’m currently recruiting for my PhD research exploring men’s experiences of domestic abuse, with a particular focus on disclosure to family and friends and how these experiences may influence subsequent help-seeking.

Emma Little Pengelly allegedly knew Donaldson was ‘a danger’ in 2020.
She is denying this - via the same solicitor used by Jeffrey Epstein and the ex-Prince Andrew.
Were she not given Donaldson’s MLA seat, she wouldn’t be deputy First Minister.
EXCLUSIVE: A young woman described by Ian Paisley as a "victim" of Jeffrey Donaldson said that Emma Little-Pengelly had told her that the disgraced former DUP leader was "a danger" to her, @BelTel can reveal.

So Emma Pengelly is now using the solicitors firm whose previous clients included Jeffrey Epstein. Tweed has also sued members of the public on behalf of Stephen Nolan. Hardly a good look for the Deputy FM. Or the DUP? Or democracy in NI!
