Domestic Violence: A Tragedy for Migrants and All Communities

The tragic death of Perseverance Ncube, a 35-year-old migrant woman in Greater Manchester, highlights the devastating impact of domestic violence on individuals, families, and entire communities.

As Tulia, an organisation supporting migrants in the UK, we are deeply saddened by this loss and committed to raising awareness about this pervasive issue.

Migrants, particularly those with insecure immigration status, are particularly vulnerable to domestic abuse. Fear of deportation, language barriers, and lack of support networks can trap them in cycles of violence and silence. Perseverance Ncube's story is a stark reminder of the urgent need to address the root causes of domestic violence and provide comprehensive support services for migrant victims.

At Tulia, we work closely with migrants to empower them with knowledge about their rights, connect them with support services, and assist them in navigating legal processes. We advocate for policies that protect migrant victims and ensure their access to justice.

We urge everyone to play a part in combating domestic violence:

Speak out: If you witness domestic violence, report it. Encourage victims to seek help and support.

Spread the word: Raise awareness about domestic violence and its impact on migrant communities.

Donate: Support organizations that provide legal aid and advocacy services for migrant victims like Tulia and other organisations

Volunteer: Offer your time or skills to help a victim of domestic violence

Together, we can break the silence and create a society where everyone, regardless of their immigration status, can live free from fear and violence.
