Violence Against Women Funding Stream 2008-2011
The Violence Against Women Funding Stream provides financial support to assist in the development of measures to tackle all forms of violence against women which may either be projects delivering frontline services or building capacity in local partnerships to strengthen responses to violence against women. It is intended to improve current circumstances, not replace or compete with existing alternative funding arrangements. In tackling domestic abuse and wider violence against women the Scottish Government works to a gender based analysis of such violence. This is not to minimise the experiences of those affected by any other forms of violence including where men may suffer violence or abuse. However the focus of this funding is on the experiences of women and children.
Applications were submitted to the Violence Against Women Team by 8 February 2008. Applications for this funding stream are now closed. The text and documents below only apply to those who received a grant offer letter from the Violence Against Women Team in 2008.
