Surviving Domestic Abuse: A Healthwatch Camden Report

Healthwatch Camden held interviews with nine female survivors of domestic abuse and an additional six people completed an anonymous online survey.

Our report documents the experiences of these 15 survivors and suggests recommendations to systems that support victims. Read here.
