The government sees this as crucial, however we know that the majority of women don’t want to report to police about the violence they experience and over 90% of BME women state that receiving support from a BME service was the most helpful factor to accessing safety, the very same services that the Government is cutting back on. keywords: activist; anti; black; bme; clear; eki; fear; feminism; freedom; girls; government; immigration; issues; justice; kumar; legal; library; london; lse; panel; patriarchy; platform; rape; services; social; state; status; story; vawg; violence; women cache: fl-99.docx plain text: fl-99.txt
