Equally Safe and Supported is a practical set of resources designed to support organisations to make their services accessible to women with learning disabilities who have experienced gender-based violence.

This important new report, published today by the fabulous team at CSE Aware, aims to change that 🙌

“Women’s intersecting experiences of learning disability and selling sex are little understood and often overlooked, which means women can fall between the cracks when it comes to support.”

"Four out of five lawyers working in civil legal aid in Glasgow will no longer take on protective order cases for victims of domestic abuse because in 1999 lawyers accepted the principle of one fee of £500 for working a single case and 25 years later that fee is only £572.”

Committed to continue improving policy, legislation and practice with, and for women and girls with learning disabilities who have experienced gender-based violence.
