Defend Louise Harrison - Save Yorkshire Women's Services!

Amy Cousens Women’s Lives Matter campaign and Leeds Socialist Party

Louise Harrison, now ex-staff member of South Yorkshire Women’s Aid, was dismissed from her job on 19 January by a trustee vote of three to one not to renew her contract.

This comes after a campaign to save South Yorkshire Women’s Aid, spearheaded by Louise at the beginning of September, when staff and volunteers were told there would be no funding for the service from Doncaster Labour council.

This is not unique - these services are disappearing from our towns and cities because of the Tories implementing austerity and Labour councils enforcing it.
