Violence Against Women and Children Needs Led Assessment
Understanding Women, Children and Young People’s Needs in West Dunbartonshire.
The West Dunbartonshire Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Partnership is carrying out a confidential research project to learn more about the needs of women, children and young people when it comes to services and support related to their safety.
There are three ways to participate in this research. You can take part in any 1 form, or all three.
Why we need your help?
Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) is a term used to describe types of violence and abuse which are disproportionately perpetrated by men against women and girls such as, sexual violence, domestic abuse, coercive control, stalking and harassment, commercial sexual exploitation, female genital mutilation (FGM), forced marriage, so-called ‘honour-based’ abuse, exploitation and abuse of women and girls online.
We are keen to know:
-
What women, children and young people’s experiences of VAWG are in West Dunbartonshire.
-
What support and services women, children and young people need.
-
What more do West Dunbartonshire’s VAWG services need to do to support women, children and young people.
We want to hear and better understand women, children and young people’s experiences, to improve our support systems and shape our future plans for keeping them safe in their homes and in our public spaces.
