i have read two threads on here in very recent times and it both cases the OP was fleeing a domestic violence situation and womens aid was unable to help. In the last thread, the OP said the phone call she made took about 15 sec while they told her they had no space.
I am so horrified that a woman who picks up the courage to call for help can be turned away and dismissed so shortly. I know the funding mustn't be there. Is there anything we can do?
I would quite happily take a woman and her child in to my home as an emergency if it meant her leaving such a situation. Could we have some kind of support system on here?
I realise that there are probably a lot of issues I am ot aware of, I just hope we can do something to improve the chances of women and children in such circumstances.
