Initial Response: following ruling of the Supreme Court
We have been at the forefront of shaping and coordinating responses to domestic abuse for over 50 years.  We have done so by placing the needs of survivors at the heart of our work, prioritising the protection of women and children who have suffered from domestic abuse. The provision of single-sex domestic abuse services is a founding principle of Women’s Aid, and we defend it. You can view our Single Sex Services statement, published in 2022, here.
Our diverse members, each an independent charity in their own right, share a steadfast commitment to supporting survivors. Their positions are shaped by local needs and informed by their unique perspectives and their interpretation of the Equality Act 2010 to date. Over the coming weeks we will seek to engage with the EHRC on their forthcoming guidance which will set out the implications of the ruling. This may impact on various aspects of our work including the general guidance we provide to members and on our national quality standards frameworks.
