Please sign this petition to try and prevent the defunding of women’s refuges

[CaveMum]

Earlier today it was revealed that, during 2016, 78 women women were murdered in the UK by their current or ex-partner. SEVENTY EIGHT

39 of those women had children under the age of 18.
3 of them were pregnant.

This week the Government will be voting on legislation that will impact massively on the funding of women’s refuges. If the changes go ahead many refuges will be forced to close due to lack of funds.

Please take a minute to read and sign this petition and share it with your friends and family via social media.

This is still lacking a lot of signautres. The legislation really does mean closure of already overstretched refuges. Dozens of women are not admitted for every one that is. Please sign.

Signed, I work in this area and this will decimate the only secure source of funding that many refuges have.

At first I assumed it would not go through because surely the government are not quite so heartless? But then I remembered the cuts to funding for Access to Work, Independent Living Fund and realised that this is exactly what they will do.
