Get £100k each to women's domestic abuse services

[Jeanhatchet]

Myself and Planet Cath have started a petition I obviously can't link here.

Women's services need to expand quickly to meet the needs of women in lockdown. They are best suited to respond. This may be in a variety of ways. It might include support staff operating from other spaces like hotels or houses other than refuges, more helpline staff, laptops for remote working etc but .... they are all too starved of cash already. But it has to be safely and properly provided by qualified women's sector women. Govt must inject cash into established women's services at this time and place no limits on what it is used for. There must be no hoops to jump through.

You can find the petition on my Twitter if you would like to sign.

Thanks Jean

Is it possible to get this moved the Parliament Petition web site. change.org petitions dont have much status as they are just one of the many social media companies who rival each other.

With 10, 000 signatures there has to be a Government response. With 100,000 signatures it has to be discussed.

Willcertainly support. Worried about what such orgs can practically do to expand provision though. Everything useful seems to be restricted. And the police seem over zealous eslewhere and not concerned with increasing policing of abusers.
