For 50 years, Sheffield Women\u2019s Aid has been a lifeline for survivors of domestic abuse, providing refuge to women and their children, as well as reshaping attitudes around gender-based violence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the ongoing work to help those impacted by violence against women and girls (VAWG) the problem has been classed as a societal epidemic by UK police. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week\u2019s 50th anniversary is bitter-sweet for Chief Executive, Hollie Venn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She says: \u201cIt\u2019s a real privilege for me to be in this role at the time we are 50, but it\u2019s very sad that we are still here, we shouldn\u2019t still be here. There have been changes in social attitudes and as a society we know it’s unacceptable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are more in agreement now that domestic violence is not just something that happens behind closed doors.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spite of positive changes in attitudes towards domestic violence, there are still over 85,000 adults living in Sheffield who have experienced domestic abuse since the age of 16, according to Sheffield City Council.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheffield Women\u2019s Aid is committed to offering a safe space for survivors and their children. They provide two separate housing units with self-contained flats for 36 women and their children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How VAWG still needs to be tackled <\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While there have been positive changes in the past 50 years, Ms Venn believes there\u2019s still a long way to go, with technology and social media presenting new challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She says: \u201cWhat I don\u2019t think we could have anticipated is the rise in hatred towards women that has definitely been creeping up over the past few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere has been a big set back in societal attitudes because of people like Andrew Tate. I think social media has a large responsibility for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany young boys just parrot what they hear on social media.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research by Women\u2019s Aid<\/a> in 2023 found that, among youths aged 7\u201325 years, boys are more likely than girls to be exposed to gendered hateful content on social media, and that this exposure is linked to unhealthy attitudes towards relationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution, Ms Venn believes, lies in education. She emphasised the need for efforts and resources to be invested in schools to educate young children about the importance of respecting women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social media isn\u2019t all negative, though. The platforms have also helped to create a positive impact on shaping positive attitudes towards gender-based violence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Venn says: \u201cWhat is really heartening is when I see a lot of young women posting on social media about feminism and pushing back on the misogyny they experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent high profile domestic abuse cases, such as Gis\u00e8le <\/strong>Pelicot, who was raped by her husband and over 50 men while she was incapacitated, have sparked solidarity among women and reduced stigma around domestic abuse, with social media users promoting slogans like \u201cshame must change sides\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges, Sheffield Women\u2019s Aid remains optimistic about the future and the impact they strive to have. The charity is currently developing a range of accommodation and working in partnership with organisations like WISH <\/a>to meet the high demand for women and children affected by abuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheffield Women\u2019s Aid shaping change<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The charity has been at the forefront of influencing life-changing legislation making the UK safer for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their impact dates back to 1977, when they successfully lobbied for Sheffield City Council to allow female survivors of domestic violence to be classified as homeless, granting them access to housing support. In 2015, they supported the development of the Femicide Census, which recorded all fatal domestic abuse cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest milestones in legislation during Sheffield Women\u2019s Aid\u2019s existence was the passing of the Domestic Abuse Act in 2021.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Venn said the introduction of this major bill was the result of years of campaigning from Sheffield and other branches of Women\u2019s Aid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Act provided the first ever statutory definition of domestic abuse, finally recognising the existence of emotional and psychological harm, economic abuse, and coercive control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julie O\u2019Rourke, a Lead Practitioner at Sheffield Women\u2019s Aid, explained: \u201cThe domestic abuse bill made a lot of changes. Coercive control was rarely spoken about before, it\u2019s a big milestone that the different forms of abuse are now being recognised.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Women\u2019s Aid<\/a>, 43,774 offences of coercive control were recorded by the police in England and Wales (excluding Devon and Cornwall) in the year ending March 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maureen Storey, added that it\u2019s vital that people are now connecting the different forms of abuse women face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said: \u201cA lot of the success from the women\u2019s movement has been getting people to join up the dots. We need to respond more assertively to \u2018minor\u2019 offences like upskirting, sexual harassment, and indecent exposure. When men get away with those things, they ramp it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we start calling those things out, which has been happening, that will reduce the more serious kinds of offending that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The History of Sheffield Women\u2019s Aid<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With roots in the Women\u2019s Liberation Movement of the 1970s, Sheffield Women\u2019s Aid began as a volunteer-run housing unit for women fleeing abusive partners.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maureen Storey, who retired as a trustee of the charity this week, first began working with the organisation during the Women\u2019s Liberation movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWomen\u2019s Aid seemed like the group that was going to make the biggest difference to women\u2019s lives,\u201d she says.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until help was provided, during the first half of the twentieth-century, female survivors of domestic violence in the UK had little option but to remain living with their abuser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1974, Sheffield Women\u2019s Aid opened its doors on Burngreave Road, providing one of the first safe spaces in the country for survivors of domestic abuse to live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, Sheffield Women\u2019s Aid has grown from a voluntary organisation to a council-funded charity, providing housing and self contained flats for women and their children who have escaped abusive relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms O\u2019Rourke says: \u201cNow when women walk in they can\u2019t believe their eyes, they think it\u2019s wonderful to have this safe space to themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their mission remains the same: to offer a place of refuge for survivors of domestic abuse and their children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
