LEGAL GUIDE: Reporting Domestic Abuse to the Police
The seismic vote that took place in Ireland this time last week is a milestone for progress and for the rights of women to live free from control. Rightly it is being celebrated, as is the work of countless activists that brought us to this point, but the fight to liberate women from abuses of power and coercion is not restricted to our bodies, and it is happening right here in Scotland, right now.
Stalking Awareness Week - New Resource!
As part of Stalking Awareness Week and to celebrate the launch of our new resource on Reporting Stalking we checked in for a quick Q&A with Sarah who works at a local Women’s Aid service to find out how she is getting on using FollowItApp, our innovative new mobile app that supports victim-survivors of stalking to document their experience.
Scotland's new Domestic Abuse Bill is published
The Scottish Women’s Rights Centre welcomes the launch of Scotland’s new
Domestic Abuse Bill.
At the moment, there is a significant gap between criminal justice responses to
and the evidence and experience of women who are subject to domestic abuse.
Without legislation that encompasses and criminalises the broad range of
abusive tactics perpetrators use against victims, including psychological,
emotional, financial, sexual and physical abuse, women are too often left
vulnerable, unsupported by the legal framework and unable to access justice.
