Women's Aid - please support women's refuges by signing this petition

[WeRoarSometimes]

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.

Signed - thanks for drawing it to my attention.

Bumping for daytime

Bumping - while the issue of violence against women is 'newsworthy' for a change, please sign this important petition to help keep it on the agenda.

Bumping again. It's growing, but not quickly enough.

If only MN had left this on a mainstream thread, it's such a crucial issue to vulnerable families why stick it away where so few will see it?

Signed. Thanks for sharing.

Bumping again.
Also asking all the parents on the school WhatsApp group.

Thanks WeRoar. Bumping for the evening.
