This blog post will explore the intersectional inequalities and lived experiences of Deaf and deaf blind survivors,  and survivors with disabilities going through violence and abuse as they are often ignored. Women who are Deaf and /or have disabilities are  2 to 4 times more likely to experience domestic violence than hearing or able bodied women.   Around 22 Deaf women are at risk of abuse every day. In spite of this,  Deaf survivors face significant barriers accessing support.

In this open letter, women from different faiths unite in voicing safeguarding concerns over the current legislation for Assisted Dying.
