A recent report from Women's Aid reveals that nearly 24% of women escaping domestic abuse are unable to secure refuge due to a shortage of accommodation. This study emphasizes that many survivors face additional abuse while waiting for safe accommodations, with some even forced to sleep rough. Chief executive Farah Nazeer stresses that safety should not be compromised by immigration status or limited refuge spaces, highlighting the urgent need for reform to protect these vulnerable individuals.
Despite repeated efforts, almost one in four women fleeing abuse are unable to find refuge due to a lack of available spaces, exacerbating their situation.
The alarming increase in domestic abuse survivors facing homelessness highlights a critical failure in the support system, reflecting a dire need for urgent reform.
