SUMMARY:60% cuts to DV services - Leeds Women's Lives Matter
DESCRIPTION:‘Figures obtained by freedom of information requests show that around 60% of funding has been cut from Leeds council to domestic violence services. \nhttps://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/…/leeds-domestic-violence-f… \nThe women’s lives matter campaign started in Doncaster where we fought to defend South Yorkshire Women’s Aid from local authority cuts – but our fight was not unique\, up and down the country women’s services are struggling from one financial year to the next and many are not surviving austerity. This means that there are women in need of support that are also not surviving because of the lack of support provision. \nWomen’s aid states that ‘On just one day in 2017\, 94 women and 90 children were turned away from refuge. 60% of all referrals to refuges were declined in 2016-17\, normally due to a lack of available space.’ \nWhere do women and children go when they cannot get access to services? – they are either forced into other vulnerable living situations or they are forced into staying with a perpetrator. The reality is that women and children die because of this. \nAusterity cuts to women’s services is costing women’s lives. \nThis meeting is a discussion about the reality of whats happening to our women’s services in Leeds and what we need to do about it. \nWhen they cut back\, we must fight back.’ \n
