'A campaign that aims to raise awareness of the insidious effect of verbal abuse on women.

'Killing Me Softly With His Words' was launched by domestic violence charity Sonas with the message that verbal abuse destroys lives.

"Words can and do wound," said charity chief executive Fiona Ryan who was joined by 2FM DJ Ruth Scott and fashion blogger Suzanne Jackson.

"The campaign shows how verbal abuse can be so psychologically and emotionally damaging that it can undermine a woman's self-belief, self-respect and self-image," she added.'

Looks like this problem isn't limited to Irish women. But of course the campaign wouldn't include men.
