Our Own Words 2026

We are developing a report about the experiences of survivors of domestic abuse

No professionals speaking for us. No spin. No agenda

The survey has been designed by survivors, for survivors

If you have experienced domestic abuse take the survey and make your voice heard. It takes around 30 minutes

We are aiming for 1,000+ responses so that findings cannot be dismissed

The final report will use our words. It has no pre-planned agenda. It will be shared with politicians and policy makers

It will offer a 100% independent review of the services that are supposed to support us

Today we are over 70% there, n = 689. Join Us
