More cash needed to tackle domestic abuse

Guernsey’s Domestic Abuse Strategy needs more cash, according to the island’s domestic abuse forum, Options.

It was time to bite the bullet, said forum chairwoman Anne Watt.

‘More funding is absolutely essential because we’ve been talking about services for victims of domestic abuse for some years and we’ve worked hard to produce a strategy that will offer protection to victims and their children,’ she said. (form thisisguernsey)

Such a shame that this form of abuse happens,

What more can be done to prevent it?

Education?

Naming & shaming the offenders?

Also, a Refuge facility for male victims is needed as at present the Refuge only caters for women & children under 14 yrs (I think it is)
