Sistah Space turn up pressure over ValeriesLaw Charity boss Ngozi Fulani Sistah_Space says the team are now ramping up their campaign efforts by LeahMahon_
A LEADING domestic and sexual abuse charity are calling on the government to restart efforts in delivering a law that will safeguard black victims of abuse.
She said: “It is for us, Sistah Space, to start the conversation because if we don’t it will just lay dormant and all of our hard work with the community and the supporters and of course the Forde family, all of our hard work would be in vain.” Prominent MPs that attended the debate included Diane Abott, Dawn Butler and Abena Appong-Asare who are all still supportive of Valerie’s Law, says Ms Fulani.Ms Appong-Asare led the proposals and urged the government to do the “right thing” after initially rejecting the growing calls to mandate culturally specific training.
Ms Maclean replied that they needed a “tiny bit of patience,” but assured that they would be included and said a meeting with Sistah Space, the College of Policing and the National Police Chiefs Council would take place. “Working alongside the charity sector, the College has developed DA Matters, which is an innovative and impactful learning programme. The programme has been accessed by most forces across the country who have delivered the learning to their officers and staff,” they added.
