These two Domestic Abuse Information Booklets<\/a> provide clear information, practical advice and sources of support for women experiencing abuse. Available in Welsh and English, the two booklets cover general information about domestic abuse and guidance for women planning to leave or fleeing abuse.<\/p>\nThis initiative was led by Soroptimist International Wales South and developed in partnership with Welsh Women\u2019s Aid and some local Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Services, alongside wider safeguarding and specialist legal, justice, advice and support services, together with the Physical Empowerment CIC and Women\u2019s Institute, and informed by survivors with lived experience.<\/p>\n
