Former Love Island star Zara McDermott joins protesters for domestic violence

Описание: For many women, home is the most dangerous place they can be.

Today Refuge and Zara McDermott are at Parliament to expose the reality of coercive control and tech abuse.

Zara is an ambassador for Refuge and is herself a survivor of intimate image abuse.

The charity said there is an annual £55.5 million funding shortfall which threatens to undermine the Government’s pledge to halve violence against women and girls in a decade.

The wide-ranging VAWG strategy announced in December set out ways to prevent violence, crack down on abusers and support victims, and was backed by £1 billion.

As part of that was a promised £19 million funding boost for councils to provide safe housing for domestic abuse survivors.

Other measures as part of the cross-government strategy included all children in secondary schools being taught about healthy relationships and teachers trained to spot worrying behaviour in young men early on.

The Government said specialist rape and sexual offences investigators would also be introduced to every police force and better support provided to survivors in the NHS.
