Every additional year of school a woman attends increases her wages by an average of 12 percent.Increasing girls' education reduces infant and maternal mortality. Educated mothers have fewer pregnancies, are less likely to give birth as teenagers, and are better able to access the maternal healthcare they need. t0323896 https://padlet.com/t0313494/ga7cful6rhows79v/wish/2062795728 2022-02-23 15:18:43 UTC https://padlet.com/t0313494/ga7cful6rhows79v/wish/2062795728 The Story behind the charity ? t0323896 https://padlet.com/t0313494/ga7cful6rhows79v/wish/2064284535 Women’s Aid is the national charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children.
We have been at the forefront of shaping and coordinating responses to domestic violence and abuse through practice for over 45 years. We empower survivors by keeping their voices at the heart of our work, working with and for women and children by listening to them and responding to their needs.

Women’s Aid was founded on women’s struggle against patriarchy, sexism and male violence and grew out of the Women’s movement in the 70’s and 80’s. Today we take an intersectional approach to our work to end domestic abuse and stand with other feminist organisations leading the way in eradicating Violence Against Women and Girls.]]> 2022-02-24 10:01:12 UTC https://padlet.com/t0313494/ga7cful6rhows79v/wish/2064284535 Help us stop avoidable child deaths and make sure children are put first in the family courts. t0323896 https://padlet.com/t0313494/ga7cful6rhows79v/wish/2064294059 May 2021 – Domestic Abuse Act brings important changes for survivors and their children in the family courts
On 29th April 2021, the Domestic Abuse Act reached royal assent and finally became law. The Act contains a number of new provisions that will help to make the family courts safer for survivors and their children. These include:

The first ever statutory definition of domestic abuse which recognises children as victims in their own right.
Victims of domestic abuse will be automatically eligible for special measures in the family courts. There will also be provisions in the civil courts for some survivors to access special measures.
Perpetrators or alleged perpetrators of abuse will be prohibited from directly cross-examining their victims in person in the family and civil courts, where there are convictions or evidence of domestic abuse. The courts will also have discretion to prevent cross-examination in other circumstances.
Clarity that the family courts should use barring orders (an order under section 91(14) of the Children Act) to prevent the family courts from being used to continue abuse.
These changes have been hard fought for throughout the Child First campaign, but we recognise that systemic change is still needed throughout family justice. As we reach the first anniversary of the Ministry of Justice expert harm panel’s report, we continue to push for implementation of the report’s recommendations, which highlighted the importance of redesigning the family justice system to respond safely to survivors and their children.]]> 2022-02-24 10:07:32 UTC https://padlet.com/t0313494/ga7cful6rhows79v/wish/2064294059 What is the Child First campaign about? t0323896 https://padlet.com/t0313494/ga7cful6rhows79v/wish/2064296222 Since our campaign began in 2016 we have been calling on the government, all family courts professionals, and involved agencies to make the family court process safer for women and children survivors of domestic abuse. We wanted an end to avoidable child deaths as a result of unsafe child contact with dangerous perpetrators of domestic violence, and to ensure that children are always put at the heart of contact decisions made by the family courts. Five years on, the campaign has seen critical changes. But survivors of domestic abuse still tell us that they have been re-victimised and traumatised by their abusers, even after separation, through the family court process. We won’t stop fighting for the urgent culture change needed in the family courts.]]> 2022-02-24 10:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/t0313494/ga7cful6rhows79v/wish/2064296222 Ways we could raise money and awareness of the charity ? t0323896 https://padlet.com/t0313494/ga7cful6rhows79v/wish/2064302268 *Feminist cocktail party – Everyone joining pays a donation and brings along some ingredients to make a cocktail (with a feminist twist)
