Sisters Uncut

Sisters Uncut was formed in response to drastic cuts made to domestic violence services due to the UK’s austerity policies. Recognising that domestic and sexual violence do not exist in a vacuum and are enabled by societal systems of power and privilege, they seek to break this cycle of violence by transforming society. Sisters Uncut engages in a wide range of artistic and activist interventions to achieve well-funded, flexible, trauma-informed services for domestic violence survivors.

As an intersectional feminist group, they understand that a person’s individual experience of violence is affected by interconnecting and mutually reinforcing systems of oppression. To secure safety for survivors, they also fight the other forms of oppression that they face by advancing struggles they identify as connected to of domestic violence, including the fight for a living wage, reproductive justice, health and social welfare, housing for all, immigrant rights, LGBTQI+ rights, and criminal justice reform.
