By the end of their support period, fewer than half of survivors had been able to access safe accommodation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Alarmingly, 24% of women supported were subjected to further abuse while waiting for temporary refuge accommodation, and 8.8% were forced to sleep rough in order to escape abuse \u2014 an increase on the previous year.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The report also highlights the damaging impact of recent policy changes, including the replacement of the Destitute Domestic Violence Concession with the Migrant Victims of Domestic Abuse Concession (MVDAC) in 2024. Confusion among refuge workers over whether survivors with the MVDAC can access the Domestic Abuse (DA) Rule has led to more refuges declining referrals.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Access to immigration advice remains a significant challenge. Despite the importance of obtaining advice before applying for the MVDAC, fewer than half (47.4%) of women were able to do so by the time their NWTA case was closed, due to a national shortage of legal aid solicitors.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Worryingly, non-regulated professionals illegally gave immigration advice to 29 survivors, with a quarter (24.1%) receiving inaccurate advice that could have serious implications on their immigration options.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In response, Women\u2019s Aid is calling on the Home Office to urgently abolish the NRPF condition for all survivors, expand eligibility for the MVDAC and DA Rule, and fund comprehensive training for professionals. The organisation also calls on the Ministry of Justice to reinstate legal aid for all survivors and ensure adequate availability of legal aid solicitors nationwide.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Women\u2019s Aid is urging policymakers, statutory services, and local authorities to act on the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">findings of the Nowhere to Turn report and commit to delivering safe, accessible, and specialist support for all survivors of domestic abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Farah Nazeer, Chief Executive of Women\u2019s Aid, said:<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cSurvivors of domestic abuse must not be left without safety or support simply because of their immigration status or a lack of available refuge spaces.
