#136 Why Are We Losing Our Women-Led Services?

RISE has been providing services for women who have been subjected to male violence across Brighton and east Sussex for decades. Yet, in the recent local retendering process they have lost three specific services to a generic, non-specialist (cheaper) service. In this episode of the FiLiA podcast, Sally Jackson speaks to Jo Gough CEO of RISE Brighton, about the history of RISE, its impact on survivors, the council’s decision to cancel RISE’s contract, and what we can all do to help.
