Safety4Sisters charts ten ways that Greater Manchester Combined Authority can reinforce the safety net to make sure all in Greater Manchester, including migrant survivors, are protected.

The report, Locked in Abuse, Locked Out of Safety, shares the experiences of the migrant survivors with NRPF that Safety4Sisters supported through the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Since the launch of This Is We in March 2022, members of the group have continued to write. The second series of workshops began in April 2023 and led to the creation of This is Me, a powerful collaborative play born from the voices of migrant women survivors of domestic violence.

Investing in Safety is a robust financial model that calculates the net savings for local public services per woman, over three years, generated by the No Recourse No Safety partners – by and for services Southall Black Sisters, Latin American Women’s Rights Service, Safety4Sisters, Ubuntu Women Shelter and The Angelou Centre.

Between the end of 2020 until Autumn 2021 and under the harshest of pandemic conditions, women from the Safety4Sisters group programme alongside writer Amber Lone and Safety4Sisters Group Coordinator Sandhya Sharma came together to form the migrant women’s writing project.
