“It is a real pressure cooker situation and a damning indictment on our society that so many women are paying the ultimate price.”
Women are being left to pay the ultimate price as the cost-of-living and Stormont crisis deepens, the Women's Aid Federation NI has said.
Women's Aid Federation Chief Executive Sarah Mason said funding in Northern Ireland lagged behind that seen in England and Wales. "Women’s Aid does not apologise for being a strong voice for women and we will continue to fight for the necessary resources."We saw during the pandemic how lockdown was often trapping women with their abusers now as the strain on household expenses continues to spiral, many female victims of violence simply don’t have the financial means to escape the abuse.
“A cornerstone of the strategy in Ireland is education and it will focus on issues such as consent, healthy sexual relationships and domestic violence. It will be covered in an age-appropriate manner from primary school through to third level education.
