At Women’s Aid we welcome the decision that following serious allegations of domestic abuse and violence against women, Antony will not be returning to training or games for Manchester United until further notice, as this situation is addressed. Safeguarding must always be the priority.

Fantastic to welcome the Minister for Victims & Community Safety @siobhianayr to Dundee Women's Aid today.

During the visit, the Minister met with our partners in Dundee to learn more about the difference funded groups are making in tackling gender-based violence in Scotland.
