Labour — Scarborough and Whitby

Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 November 2024

Debate

Men’s Violence against Women and Girls

Contribution

Refuges offer protection from perpetrators, time to recover from abuse and a range of support to enable survivors to rebuild their lives, yet 61% of refuge referrals in England last year had to be declined due to lack of capacity. Scarborough and Whitby has the highest rate of recorded domestic incidents in North Yorkshire, but it has no refuge. Does my hon. Friend agree that the refuge sector needs more support?
