Bruises, swelling, and other signs of physical abuse can be less visible on Black skin. This invisibility can have devastating consequences: delayed care, lack of protection, and continued violence. Believe survivors. What’s unseen still matters, and awareness can save lives.

A recent report from Sistah Space suggest that both awareness of and support for Black women experiencing #domesticabuse is severely lacking. Employers have a crucial role to play in supporting their Black employees. Follow our campaign to kickstart important conversations in your organisation.

As part of our campaign to raise awareness of the impacts of #domesticabuse on the Black community, we invite you to join our free webinar on 24 September from 1-2 pm: Understanding and supporting Black employees affected by domestic abuse. Register here: www.eida.org.uk/civicrm/even...

This month, EIDA is running a dedicated campaign to raise awareness of Black experiences of #domesticabuse. We hope it will be a starting point for important conversations about how employers can support Black employees impacted by abuse.
Please amplify and share this campaign to spread awareness!
