SIGN THE PLEDGE: Do your bit to stop domestic abuse in the Scottish Borders

Border Women’s Aid is very grateful to these two women who share their stories of domestic abuse. Their testimonies help to break down the taboos about speaking about the unspeakable, and give hope to those experiencing domestic abuse that it is possible to escape its trap and find new lives free from fear for themselves and their children.
