153 Lindsey ReadThis is a problem that particularly affects BAMER women, but also women generally. The Gender Equality Duty, whilst intended to promote the increase of appropriate services for women, is in fact being used to promote gender neutral provision.

167 Gianna LapiniWe desperately need smaller, more specific and client-friendly services easily accessible for local women. The preventative and supportive role of such services is not being fulfilled by larger, less specialised organisations, nor is it being picked up by statutory organisations.

173 C WhitehouseThese services are absolutely essential for women fleeing violence and abuse and the experience and knowledge of their staff teams is irreplaceable.

182 Colette JoyceI work in a generic service which inevitably favours English speakers and am aware of how vital it is for women to access own language workers in culturally safe settings. Small specialist BAMER not only provide this access but give BAMER women routes to employment and learning the skills which many will later take into a generic service in the voluntary or community care sectors. Cutting off this service makes it harder for second language groups to find routes to mainstream integration as both employees and clients.
183 julie andersonWe need to keep these speacialist refuges open to protect women and chidren in the future.

191 arlene scottI am founder and Director of an organisation assisting BMER men and women affected by domestic violence within Tower Hamlets and surrounding areas. My organisation is an independent support and advocacy service, thriving on donations without central or local government funding. I have been met with opposition but will not give up the fight to assist those who are vulnerable to both their abuser and the system.

193 AnonymousThese specialist services are vital to these vulnerable women and must not continue to be diluted by integration into mainstream services.
