‘I thought he was going to end my life that night’

A domestic abuse survivor turned to social media to expose her ex-partner after feeling let down by the justice system.

Lauren Hardie was with her ex for six months, and says he was becoming increasingly aggressive. The 24-year-old posted footage of her partner attacking her to warn others and spread awareness of domestic abuse.

Lauren is one of seven women that BBC Disclosure has followed over the past year as they try to seek justice and rebuild their lives after surviving domestic abuse.
