Central funding for DV services in many places is now conditional to centring males in women's spaces. These services are between a rock and hard place where they are forced to erode the trust of women who need the services most in return for money. If they try to go it alone then Vancouver Rape Relief is what happens.

Women are no longer centred in their own issues even the life threatening ones.

People don’t realise that the biggest killer of women aged 16 to 44 is not cancer, it’s domestic abuse.

That’s a quote from Rachel Williams, one of the co-founders of Safe Lives.

Also- In mid- 2020, the Law Commission will be consulting the public on whether protected characteristics relevant to hate crime should include sex. Let’s all respond to say yes. The Law Commission will then report back on the consultation responses and also make any recommendations they want to make to government for legal reform in Parliament.
