£20 million for domestic abuse

The government has marked International Women’s Day by announcing increased financial support for survivors of domestic violence, help for parents returning to work after a career break and funds for next year’s centenary of women receiving the vote.

An extra £20m will be provided to organisations battling domestic violence and abuse, which increases the total state funding for the initiative to £100m over the course of the current parliament. This is on top of the proceeds of the tampon tax, which will provide £12m this year to a range of women’s charities. The chancellor, Philip Hammond, also repeated the government’s commitment to introducing a domestic violence and abuse act.
