- [Escape to the city?](https://www.womensjourneyscapes.net/escape-to-the-city/) - Major cities are consistently places of net leaving due to domestic violence; with more women and children leaving each year to services elsewhere in the country, than the number who arrive to access services in the city.

- [Dangerous journeys – Safe research](https://www.womensjourneyscapes.net/dangerous-journeys-safe-research/) - It is difficult to research domestic violence journeys – and vital that any research is carried out safely. Research using administrative data is one way to carry out research which does not place women and children at risk.
- [Pulling up the drawbridge](https://www.womensjourneyscapes.net/pulling-up-the-drawbridge/) - In Housing law, women escaping domestic violence are able to apply to a local authority where they have no ‘local connection’.

- [Hidden from survey data – women on the move](https://www.womensjourneyscapes.net/hidden-from-survey-data-women-on-the-move/) - The survey data you hear quoted about domestic violence has systematically excluded anyone on the move because of domestic violence – the statistics on domestic violence are actually excluding some of the women most affected by domestic violence.
