7 AnonymousI am appauled that the goverment has undermined this sector and has efffectively created a situation where women and children fleeing abuse lives are risk
8 Gita PatelBecause they are on the sharp end, Black, Asian, Ethnic Minority and Refugee services are the first to experience changes to funding and policy that will inevitably affect domestic violence refuges and services of all kinds. For the last 30 years, these generally secular services have quietly and without asking for much, levelled the playing field for women and children experiencing domestic violence, assisting them to both integrate into wider communities and contribute to these communities despite being impacted by continued sexist and racist thinking and practices. The loss of these transformative services and with them the wealth of specific expertise has a ripple effect felt by the whole voluntary and community sector as well as the statutory sector and all of society. These services work with the pernicious, long-lasting, everyday impact of domestic violence affecting all women and not just the women that are most at risk or most profiled by the media. Domestic violence costs the UK money, a lot of money and it needn't. An investment in these very cost effective services makes financial as well as moral sense.
9 Ms LouAnne LachmanIt is vital that these refuges continue to provide the services they do to these vulnerable women and children. In a time where racist violence is on the increase, women and childred who have suffered violence in their own homes can not be expected to recover from that in an environment which is not supportive of their needs.

15 R.K.ThiaraIts widely recognised that we need specific sevrices for BME women affected by domestic violence. Please address the contradictions in government policy so it does not punish vulnerbale women and children.
