The University of South Wales (USW) has been awarded over £300,000 funding from Health and Care Research Wales for a large-scale research project focusing on support for Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) women affected by Violence Against Women, Domestic abuse, and Sexual Violence (VAWDASV).
Over two years, this groundbreaking study will place the voices and experiences of BME women at the heart. Through in-depth methods such as interviews, digital storytelling, and workshops, the project will develop a comprehensive framework designed to ensure that services, spanning healthcare, law enforcement, social services, and community organisations, can better meet the needs of the service users.

Led by USW’s Dr Sarah Wallace, the study is in partnership with Bawso, a service who provides practical and emotional prevention, protection and support services to BME and migrant victims of domestic abuse, sexual violence, female genital mutilation, forced marriage, honour-based violence, modern slavery, and human trafficking.
