Safety4Sisters welcomes the sharing of the draft Greater Manchester Gender Based Abuse (GBA) Strategy 2021-2031 and the opportunity to offer a response. Since 2009, we have worked with women subjected to the intersection of gender-based violence (GBV) and the exclusion of migrants from protection including through the no recourse to public funds (NRPF) condition. Based on this experience working with some of the most socially excluded and marginalised in Greater Manchester, we detail in our submission suggestions for strengthening the strategy so Greater Manchester provides a safety net for all, including migrant women.
