Watch more on Independent TV: Every woman deserves to live free from fear. But one in four women face domestic abuse over their lifetime – women we know, love and work with. But for practical reasons, some women and their children escaping an abusive partner can’t be sheltered in a traditional shared refuge. This is why we are calling on you to join The Independent and Refuge. Together, we’ll raise £300,000 to build an innovative, safe home that welcomes any woman fearing for her life, no matter her circumstances.
