Eaves, a leading UK women's charity in operation since 1977, has today (30th October) announced it will cease operations immediately. The chair of Eaves has cited the difficult funding climate and changes in the way Government commissions services. http://www.eavesforwomen.org.uk/news-events/news/closure-of-eaves-another-nail-in-the-coffin-for-the-women-s-sector The Govt must urgently address the hole left by the closure of Eaves, and ensure measures are put in place to ensure its service users have sufficient provisions. We ask the Govt to meet with the staff and board of Eaves to see how they can help, and what measures need to be put in place to protect the survivors Eaves has served with dedication and tireless work for almost five decades. The Govt must also respond to the concerns Eaves raise regarding the major challenges faced by the specialist violence against women and girls sector. The closure of Eaves makes a mockery of their promise to end violence against women and girls. We call on MPs of all parties to urgently raise this issue with the Government, and Jeremy Corbyn to raise the matter directly with the Prime Minister at the next PMQs.
