Black female victims of domestic violence are not getting the support they need because of government cuts, a charity boss has claimed.
Zlahka Ahmed, director of the Rotherham-based Apna Haq charity, accused ministers of slashing funding to charities that specifically cater to women from black and ethnic minority communities.
“If you look at the last ten years, 50% of black and minoritized women's organisations have lost their funding, and that's because there's less funding. There's a lot of competition and sadly, the big white, generic women's organisations are taking the money.”
