Research, Resources & Sector Insight
Understanding domestic abuse and violence against women and girls means listening to survivors, challenging misinformation, and staying informed through trusted research and evidence-based learning.
This section of our website shares useful resources, articles, campaigns and sector insight from organisations working across the domestic abuse and safeguarding sector. Our aim is to help individuals, professionals and communities better understand the realities of abuse, the barriers survivors face, and the importance of safe, informed and inclusive support.
We know conversations around domestic abuse, gender-based violence, immigration and identity can sometimes become shaped by fear, stereotypes or misinformation. That is why access to accurate information, research and survivor-informed practice is so important.
One resource we encourage people to explore is the SAFE Hub — an online platform sharing the latest research, learning, insights and initiatives from across the domestic abuse sector.
Recent topics include:
- Violence against women and girls (VAWG)
- Survivor experiences and barriers to support
- Safeguarding and trauma-informed practice
- Harmful myths and misinformation
- Inclusive support for diverse communities
- Policy, research and sector updates
We particularly encourage readers to explore discussions that challenge harmful narratives and promote evidence-based understanding around violence against women and girls.

Domestic abuse can affect anyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, immigration status, religion, sexuality or background. Every survivor deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion and respect, and to access support free from judgement or discrimination.
If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse or feeling unsafe, support is available.
Broxtowe Women’s Project provides confidential support for women and children affected by domestic abuse.
