The Department of Justice initiative will appear on television screens in Northern Ireland from Monday.
An awareness campaign, to be launched around a new non-fatal strangulation criminal offence, has been welcomed.
Permanent Secretary of the department Richard Pengelly said they want to raise awareness of the crime for perpetrators and victims as well as the general public. “The purpose of the campaign is to raise awareness, for perpetrators, victims and the general public that non-fatal strangulation is a crime, it can cause devastating injuries, where serious injury occurs consent is no defence and consequences for offenders include significant prison sentences.”
