A Liverpool woman who spent her career helping domestic abuse survivors has been honoured.
Tola Oshodi 65, a family support worker at Amadudu women's refuge for 21 years is due to retire this year. Amadudu wants Tola to get the recognition she deserves after being a trusted and valued member of staff for so long.
The specialist centre is the only refuge in the Liverpool city region prioritising and catering for Black and minority women and children fleeing domestic violence - although all women can access support there. Amadudu; a Nigerian word meaning 'of colour', opened its doors on International Women's Day March 8, 1992.
