Forgive me for posting on this board - have already added to the FWR section, but I'm hoping as many Mumsnetters as possible can see this.
Many of you will have noticed what is happening to women's refuges and how they are closing whilst funding is being set aside for 'gender-neutral services'.

Women's Aid have launched a petition
'to the government that it requires local authorities to fund women's domestic abuse services/'.

Please could you lend your support to this. There's over 2000 signatures on there now, but they need so many more if this is to be
debated by lawmakers.

I've already signed it and am sending the link to as many people as I can.
Big thanks to you all.
Again, apologies for using AIBU for this.

@Inaseagull - thanks so much for doing that, greatly appreciated.
I understand this might get deleted. Another poster on FWR mentioned there's a separate petitions section on MN.

Signed. How awful this is being taken away.

FOJN · 10/03/2021 22:09

I have signed too but concerned that the word "women" could be used inclusively!

Is there a website we can find out more info?

Such as do we know how many organisations have been de funded? What has been removed, how much etc?
