More of the 90 organisations that have joined us in asking the government for funding specifically to address the mental health impact of domestic abuse, through specialist, trauma-informed and long-term #counselling. #MHAW2025 #vawg Standing Together OPOKA CIO Safer Places


Yesterday, the government announced a funding boost of £2.4 million for migrant victim-survivors of abuse with NRPF. We welcome the announcement while continuing to urge the Home Office to implement long-term immigration policy reform. gov.uk/government/new… Our statement👇🏾







Today, our Head of Policy Dr Hannana Siddiqui OBE delivered the keynote at Legal Action Group's Migrant Law Conference. She urged the vitality of status and state support to migrant victim-survivors' ability to escape abuse and called for wholesale reform of discriminatory NRPF policies.


We echo the Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls's concern about the UK's continued export of arms to countries responsible for grave violations of women and girls' rights. We demand that the UK government abide by its international obligations and uphold the rights of women and girls worldwide.


If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, please call our helpline on 020 8571 0800 or email [email protected]. We provide free advice to support women and girls to live lives free of violence and fear. southallblacksisters.org.uk
