Scottish Parliament Written Question
S6W-21285
Tuesday 26th September 2023

Asked by: McNeill, Pauline (Scottish Labour - Glasgow)

Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether any of the women's organisations that it funds provides help and assistance to women fleeing abusive family situations, rather than intimate partner violence and abuse, and if this is the case, whether it can provide a list of those organisations.                                    

Answered by Brown, Siobhian - Minister for Victims and Community Safety

Equally Safe is Scotland’s strategy to take action on all forms of violence against women and girls. By this, we mean violent and abusive behaviour directed at women and girls precisely because they are women and girls. We know that VAWG can have a devastating impact on victims, and we are committed to eradicating VAWG in all its forms.

This is why, through our Delivering Equally Safe Fund, we are supporting 121 projects from 112 organisations that focus on early intervention and prevention, as well as support services. Included are organisations that support victims fleeing from family abuse. Inspiring Scotland manage DES on behalf of the Scottish Government. A full list of all the DES projects can be found on Inspiring Scotland's website.

Additionally, we fund Scotland’s Domestic Abuse and Forced Marriage Helpline which is there to support anyone experiencing domestic abuse or forced marriage.
