RASASC at VAWG roundtable discussion
Our Chief Executive Officer Daisy was delighted to be invited to take part in the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) roundtable discussion hosted by MP Helen Maguire.
The day brought together representatives from many services across the county including schools, police, sexual abuse, domestic abuse and women’s groups to share insights and information on what can be done to progress the VAWG agenda.
RASASC CEO Daisy Anderson said: “RASASC was delighted to be able to input into this important discussion, and I am very grateful to MP Helen Maguire for hosting and facilitating a progressive, intelligent and proactive roundtable debate.
“What was evident, is that there are a myriad of complexities and barriers faced by services across the borough in supporting our community. Services like ours across the sector are facing a funding crisis which has resulted in closures for some.
“If we are to be able to tackle these crucial issues like the VAWG crisis, then we need the resources to enable us to do that. Conversations such as this and the connections they offer are a vital stepping stone in ensuring we can be there for the survivors that need us."
