Defending women services briefing

The Women’s Resource Centre has produced a briefing providing a quick guide to the evidence, arguments and policy levers that can be used to defend and promote women-only services.

Changes to the funding environment for violence against women and girls organisations, including the ending of the local authority community safety fund and the introduction of PCCs, and uncertainty over national funding after 2015 mean that women's organisations need to be as prepared to ensure the continuation of their services.
