16 Days of Activism Campaign

Citizens Advice in West Sussex is aiming to raise awareness about domestic abuse by taking part in this year’s UN-led 16 days of activism campaign.

This year’s campaign, which runs from November 25th to December 10th, is aimed at ending digital abuse against women and girls. During this 16-day period, clients who visit any of the Citizens Advice offices in West Sussex for appointments, or drop in to speak with an adviser, will see information about help and support they can access if they are affected by domestic abuse. Cards with information about where to access help will also be available.

Taking part in the UN campaign follows the start of a pilot Domestic Abuse Project in Horsham and Mid-Sussex. This project offers support for people affected by domestic abuse, in particular offering clients help with financial and benefits information, understanding housing options and accessing legal advice. Clients who visit the Citizens Advice offices in Horsham and Mid-Sussex may be referred to this service for further help.

If you are affected by domestic abuse and would like some support and information, call Adviceline on 0808 278 7969 or email us at https://www.advicewestsussex.org.uk/get-advice/online/
