The Rise Report: Supporting young women & girls facing abuse in their intimate relationships

Young Women Rise, a research and digital campaign group led by 10 young women from across Scotland, have come together to research young people’s views on domestic abuse and existing support structures. Supported by Scottish Women’s Aid and YWCA Scotland – The Young Women’s Movement, Young Women’s Rise research shines a light on how young women and non-binary people perceive and understand domestic abuse, how they talk about it, where they seek support, and how they would like to be supported if experiencing abuse.

In this event, we will share key findings from the report and discuss how we conducted this co-designed piece of research. We will also provide insight and recommendations for support services to apply in practice and make their services more accessible to young people experiencing abuse in their intimate relationships.
