Hard Knock Life - Violence Against Women: A Guide for Donors and Funders
This report updates the guidance given to donors in NPC’s first report on domestic violence, Charity begins at home. It also broadens out the discussion to provide information about tackling other forms of violence against women. This report gives context for donors who wish to understand the range of violence that is committed against women in the UK, the impact that it has, what works to keep women safe and to help them to recover, and how the government is involved. It outlines the vital work of charities in tackling violence against women, shows the results that charities achieve, and helps donors to prioritise their funding based on these results.

Spend Now, Save Later
The Scottish Women’s Budget Group has produced a concise analysis of the case for gender budget analysis in violence against women spending with ‘Spend Now, Save Later’. The paper was commissioned by Scottish Women’s Aid and Rape Crisis Scotland and we hope it will inform the debate about how financial decisions should be made and highlight in particular the reasons why frontline services such as rape crisis and women’s aid need continued funding, and the costs of not funding these vital services.
