This is the first longitudinal study of its kind in Europe and tracks 100 women who had accessed one or more of Solace Women’s Aid services. The research identified that for all of the participants, removing themselves from the immediate control of an abusive man was only the first step. Over 90% experienced post-separation abuse, indicating the critical need for specialist support for women in the period after leaving an abusive situation. (From the website).
