Together with Women's Budget Group and other women's organisations, we've written to the Chancellor to express concerns about cuts to disability benefits: wbg.org.uk/article/cuts-t…


As Secretariat for the APPG Domestic Violence & Abuse it’s great to see the work of the APPG to support survivors in the workplace in the second reading of the Employment Rights Bill. We are also supporting Alex McIntyre - Gloucester's MP private members bill calling for paid leave for survivors

Thank you Rebecca Paul MP for raising the important issue of public trust in the response to domestic abuse. Coercion and control is at the heart of domestic abuse and without effective safeguards, the Assisted Dying Bill could put survivors in an increased vulnerable position




Great to see @KirithEntwistle raise the need for disaggregated domestic abuse data in Parliament today, we are proud to have supported Kirith’s question. And amazing to hear Lucy Powell MP, Leader of the House of Common’s echo our campaign by calling VAWG a “national emergency”.
