Dear Colleagues

 

Re: Research Report: Domestic Violence & Poverty Experienced by South Asian Women with No Recourse to Public Funds

 

You may be interested in a report 'Forgotten Women:  Domestic Violence, Poverty and South Asian Women with No Recourse to Public Funds' which has recently been published by Saheli (Manchester), a specialist domestic violence service.

 

This research is based on 30 qualitative interviews with South Asian women in the North West and Yorkshire regions of England who are survivors of domestic violence and have no entitlement to public funds because of their immigration status as recent marriage migrants. It also draws upon the responses to a self-completion questionnaire by eight specialist refuges in England. It is the first research to document the experience of this vulnerable group of women and aims to provide the evidence base for a change in policy.

 

This study was funded by Oxfam, with additional contributions from the Care Services Improvement Partnership, University of Huddersfield and The Manchester Partnership.

 

A pdf copy of the executive summary of this report is attached. A hard copy of the full report is available for purchase at the cost of £15 - all funds from the sale of this report will go to Saheli's Crisis Fund and will be used to support women with no recourse to public funds.

 

If you would like to purchase this report, please contact Priya Chopra at:
