 Violence Against Women Survey

The Women's Institute have launched a new research project to gather information about violence against women in rural and urban areas.
It's hoped the findings will help tackle stereotyping of violence against women and also show what kind of support services are needed.

The survey, which is for women only, was developed in partnership with Bristol University and can be completed online:
Womens Insitute: Violence Against Women Survey

The deadline for completed surveys is 14th February 2009.

Further information on the 'No More Violence Against Women' campaign and other Women's Institute campaigns can be found at: www.thewi.org.uk
