In part one of this two-part Sector Conversation, we met Hannana Siddiqui, Head of Policy, Research and Fundraising at Southall Black Sisters. Hannana discusses the differences between the terms ‘Domestic Abuse’ and ‘Violence Against Women and Girls’ and how a siloed approach to VAWG impacts Black and Minoritised women.

You can read more about the Government’s dual strategies on VAWG and Domestic Abuse and why they are cause for concern by following the link below. You can also find a template email there to write to Victoria Atkins asking them to reconsider the Government’s approach: https://southallblacksisters.org.uk/news/sbs-and-womens-organisations-alarmed-by-government-dual-strategy-vawg/
