It seems inevitable that without anywhere else to stay, some women will have no option but to return to their violent partner and face the risk of escalating harm. We have spent many years trying to persuade women that they can safely leave these relationships and that services are in place for them.
More than one organisation has been forced to advise such women how they can best minimise the risk of harm to themselves if they are forced to sleep on the streets. Advisers tell them to go to any busy place with people around, such as accident and emergency units or even to the Occupy protest camps.
