Advocacy

1. Voice

Black and minoritised women often face systemic racism, which silences their voices in the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) sector and creates unsafe workplaces. At RWWA, we actively address this by:

Creating safe spaces for Black and minoritised women to share their experiences and inform service delivery.

Ensuring our staff policies promote an anti-racist workplace, including training on unconscious bias, cultural sensitivity, and equitable leadership opportunities.

Amplifying the voices of Black and minoritised women in advocacy efforts, ensuring their experiences shape local and national VAWG strategies.

2. Economic Inequality

The women we support experience significant economic inequality, compounded by structural racism. Located in one of the poorest boroughs in the Northwest, where many families live in the bottom 3% of the most deprived areas (IMD 2021), we:

Provide tailored support to help women gain qualifications, develop employability skills, and access sustainable job opportunities.

Partner with local employers and training providers to remove barriers to employment and promote economic independence.

Offer financial literacy workshops and advocacy for access to benefits and housing, empowering women to improve their life chances.

Address systemic inequalities by challenging discrimination within statutory services and advocating for fair treatment for our service users.

3. Mental Health

RWWA plays a vital role in addressing the mental health needs of Black and minoritised women, who often face poorer outcomes due to structural racism. We:

Advocate for timely access to healthcare services, ensuring our service users overcome barriers such as delayed appointments and lack of language support.

Provide culturally sensitive support tailored to the specific needs of the women we serve, helping them navigate complex mental health systems.

Offer holistic services that integrate emotional, practical, and cultural support, ensuring that women feel seen and understood.

Act as a trusted point of contact, often viewed as extended family, to provide long-term support and reduce the strain on overstretched mental health services.

Our commitment to EDI is at the core of everything we do. We strive to dismantle systemic barriers, promote equity, and ensure that the women we support are empowered to lead safer, healthier, and more independent lives.

Our advocates provide a voice for under-represented groups, advocating for policy changes and raising awareness about the specific issues their communities face. We fight against domestic abuse not just through advocacy but also by fostering a sense of solidarity and resilience, encouraging community members to stand against domestic abuse and support each other. This collective empowerment can lead to lasting social change, challenging the norms and structures that perpetuate abuse.

4. Basis in Law

In 2022 the UK ratified the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (“the Istanbul Convention”).  Ratification required the UK to develop laws, policies and support services to end violence against women and girls and to end domestic violence.  Progress being made by the UK to implement the Istanbul Convention is monitored and reported on by various bodies, including the Equality and Human Rights Commission whose most recent report can be accessed here.
