Refuges are vital yet often remain invisible and forgotten spaces in the UK, despite being crucial for the safety of domestic abuse survivors.
Once inside a refuge, survivors experience a blend of peace and sorrow; the relief of escape is tempered by the trauma of their experiences.
The national shortage of refuge places means that many seeking help are turned away, underscoring the urgent need for increased support and funding.
The Independent's Brick by Brick campaign aims to raise funds for new refuge spaces, addressing the chronic lack of resources for domestic abuse victims.
