In 1971, Erin Pizzey set up the first domestic abuse shelter. Why is she now a men’s rights advocate?

Fifty years ago, the first sanctuary for “battered wives” opened its doors. It went on to become Refuge, the UK’s largest single provider of help for those experiencing domestic violence.

Erin Pizzey, the woman who began it all in a small house in west London, later developed a theory that would lead her to leave the organisation and decry feminism. She now campaigns for men’s rights.
