Black women are not reporting domestic abuse out of fear of being deported, a charity has warned. Ngozi Headley-Fulani, who runs Sistah Space, an unfunded domestic violence charity in Hackney, says the Windrush scandal and recent reports of mass-deportations to the Caribbean are trapping women in violent and abusive relationships. She said black women are ‘dying in mass numbers’ because of the government’s ‘hostile environment’ – a term coined by Theresa May in 2012 to describe the Home Office’s plan to crackdown on illegal immigration. Ngozi, along with chief volunteer Rosanna Lewis, were given a remit by City Hall to look into why women of African and Caribbean heritage were underreporting domestic abuse. (Text courtesy of Metro)
