Women’s Institute No More Violence Against Women Campaign

The National Federation of Women’s Institutes has launched a new research project with Bristol University comparing and contrasting violence against women in rural and urban settings. It is hoped that the findings will help to tackle the stereotyping that for example, violence against women does not happen in rural areas and if it does, it’s only domestic violence. Hopefully it will also show what kind of support services are needed.

If you have an opportunity I would urge you to take part in the online survey which can be completed from the following link:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=_2boN6N_2fdbHbhJ0gVoWqN4vA_3d_3d

The deadline for completed surveys is 14 February 2009 with the results of the research being launched in Spring 2009.

Thanks,
Nerys
