[Online event] Rural idyll? Living with and responding to domestic abuse in rural, remote and island Scotland (May 01, 18:00-19:30)

Robert Gordon University, School of Applied Social Studies

This presentation brings together the findings of two research projects examining women’s experiences of domestic abuse and professional responses in rural, remote and island areas of Scotland. The findings focus specifically on the policing of domestic abuse, public and third sector support and women specialist services, including multi-agency responses. Based on the narratives of victim-survivors and professionals, this seminar will be of interest to those responding to domestic abuse, as well as to those interested in rural, remote and island contexts.
