Why specialist support matters for South Asian women experiencing domestic abuse
For women experiencing domestic abuse, asking for help can be difficult. For South Asian women, there can be additional barriers that make it even harder to seek support and move towards safety.Language barriers, immigration concerns, financial dependence, isolation,...
We offer a range of services, including an initial assessment, ongoing one-to-one support and action planning around safety concerns, housing and finance. We provide advocacy to empower women to better understand how they can access support from key agencies such as Housing, Job Centres, Child Maintenance Agency and Local Councils. In addition, we run a programme of workshops and events which increase knowledge on how to stay safe, improve access to relevant support, focus on mental well-being and increase participation in the local community to reduce isolation.
