I am urging Govt again to use the #victimslaw to create a firewall so migrant survivors #DomesticAbuse can safely report + escape from abuse without fear of deportation.

@ApsanaBegumMP makes the case

I loved being amongst all these business leaders and pushing purpose led missions and philanthropy up their agendas! @LSEMarshall @WomMovMillions @TPWGiveBetter

🧵Every force shared details of #DomesticAbuse victims with immigration - about 423 victims from 2020 to 2022
Govt must agree to a firewall so victims can report safely without fear of deportation + abusers can be brought to justice

Some relationships are beyond precious, specially the ones that are about unconditional love and support.
Thank you @GMSP_fdn for being a valuable co-traveler in @Arpan_CSA’s journey. 😍🤗
@SachdevPatel❤️Glad we all met at @dasra's #DPW2023. Felt like ages!

[Rebuild India Fund @RebuildFund]

Imagine a society where change is driven by those closest to the problem. Where leaders understand the complexities of the communities they serve. Such is the power of proximate leadership!

Two thirds of ngos in the sample employ people from local community and of those two thirds are the sole breadwinner for the family. @GuideStarIndia @dasra

[Sonal Sachdev Patel @SachdevPatel]

As NGOs our credibility is questioned at every hurdle @GuideStarIndia @dasra

[Sonal Sachdev Patel @SachdevPatel]

@goonj Anita Patil says everything will fall into place if you have trust between the resource rich and the idea rich. @dasra @GMSP_fdn #billionthriving

[Sonal Sachdev Patel @SachdevPatel]

Hearing first from community leaders - of course NGOs so should be agile so they can adapt but funders don't give us the ability to do so - need long term funding, flexibility, trust. At @GMSP_fdn we agree and are grateful for your guidance.

[Sonal Sachdev Patel @SachdevPatel]

Why should it only be the job of only NGOs to build resilience? We need support from the whole ecosystem. For example who can help us with compliance? #indiandevelopmentreview #smarinitashetty @dasra @GMSP_fdn

[Sonal Sachdev Patel @SachdevPatel]

@RebuildFund Was really grateful to be in the room and hear directly from these brilliant organisations 🙏

[Sonal Sachdev Patel @SachdevPatel]

Listening to grassroots leaders from @dasra rebuild fund - how to overcome geographic bias when based in a non tier 1 city, how to manage all professionals who make promises about fundraising, SEO optimisation. So many factors to balance when running and growing an ngo @GMSP_fdn
