Majority of women fear leaving abusive partner because of lack of appropriate housing, charity says
FEAR of homelessness and lack of safe housing are the main concern of women escaping domestic violence, Women’s Aid said today.
The domestic-abuse charity published two reports showing that homelessness is a major risk for the majority of women leaving an abusive partner.
It said that the Domestic Abuse Bill, which is currently at the committee stage in Parliament, must be amended to ensure that all survivors, including migrant women, can access refuge, housing and support services.
