“Faith is seen to be racialised, othered and feared…. Women from faith communities want government and specialist services to know that faith can be a source of comfort, power and resilience for women” @hudzyboo at the @VAWGRN webinar #VAWG

[Faith&VAWG Coalition @faithandvawg]

“It takes a lot more for Black and minoritised people to reach out and if those services are easily accessible they will go back to the abuse” Zlakha from @ApnaHaq1 speaking at the #VAWGRNWebinar @VAWGRN #VAWG
