    Situation

    Domestic abuse is at epidemic levels in the UK, and it is not going away. In 2019, 1.6 million women experienced domestic abuse. 1 in 7 children and young people under the age of 18 have lived with domestic violence in their childhood. Current systems are failing, and lifesaving services are subject to funding cuts, leaving them over stretched and under resourced. On average, three women are killed by their partner or former partner every fortnight in the UK. It is truly a life and death issue.

    Solution

    As the national charity, and a federation of over 170 organisations, we are in a unique position to respond to survivors’ varied and developing needs. Our digital support services equip women with the information that they need to make safe decisions in the small windows of opportunity that they have to take action. Our digital support services offer a safe and discreet route to support which validate women’s experiences of abuse, offer them emotional support, and practical guidance.
