The cost of living crisis shouldn’t cost her life

Right now, women who can’t find money to flee domestic abuse are facing a terrifying choice – whether to leave or stay with an abusive partner this Christmas.

But the cost of living crisis shouldn’t cost women their lives. It’s up to us to make sure it never does.

Your donation this Christmas could help women like Deanna*, whose abusive partner forced her to pay for both of their lives and took out payday loans in her name, trapping her in a spiral of fear.

“I woke up every day terrified… I sold all my belongings to buy food. We had no electricity, no hot water. The cost of living is utterly fatal ”, she says.

You could help to save a woman’s life this Christmas. Donate now – it takes just 2 minutes.

*Name has been changed to protect the confidentiality of the woman we support.

£10 a month could give a woman her independence back.
Women are often forced to stop working by their abusers, or they have to leave their jobs when they escape abuse. Your regular gift could provide economic abuse support from our specialist staff.

Every day, women escaping life-threatening situations seek safety in our refuges. Many arrive with little more than the clothes they are wearing. Your gift could go towards providing toiletries, food and clothing to help a woman through her first night.
