Please help a unique women's refuge keep its funding!

This a call for action and solidarity. Could you share this with your contacts and invite them to sign the petition.

The Council of Islington has decided to stop funding the only UK refuge service for Latin American and black ethnic minorities (BME) women and children fleeing from domestic violence. These women not only suffer violence in their own homes but also discrimination when accessing services. They face extreme hardship to get their voices heard as most of them don’t speak English and don’t know the legal system.

Please sign this petition.

Sometimes the cut off is 13, but yes - widespread.

do mother's really have no access to refuges once their son's are 10

If they want to take their children to safety with thm - yes, pretty much

Jesus. I'm not surprised refuges struggle to get funding if they have policies like that. It's archaic.

The percentage of women they are actually willing to do anything for must be minimal.

By the time women are looking at refuges, they must have no other option at all - where on earth do they expect the children to go?
