PAID LEAVE FOR ABUSE VICTIMS...

VICTIMS of domestic violence could be given up to 10 days of paid leave if they need time off as a result of abuse.

MPs will this week discuss regulations to ensure survivors are not punished for missing work.

Many are unable to go to work due to physical and mental abuse, or if they need to flee their homes or get their children to safety.

Others are forced to take sick leave for police, court or health appointments, with many women losing money or their jobs after taking too much time off.

Labour MP Alex McIntyre said hearing a constituent's story just after winning his seat in July spurred him on to change the law.
