Sisters Uncut block bridges across the UK to protest cuts to domestic violence services

Sisters Uncut marched through London, Bristol, Newcastle and Glasgow, blocking bridges to protest against government cuts to domestic violence services.They warn a promised £20m of funding for generic services is not enough to protect women fleeing violent relationships.Specialist BAME domestic violence services are at high risk of being underfunded, affecting women of colour, migrant, disabled and LGBT survivors who remain more likely to be trapped in violence.During the march in London, protesters blocked Waterloo Bridge for 20 minutes as a symbol of the blocked bridge to safety many women will face if services are cut.
