Happy Pride Month 🌈

At Solace, we are committed to supporting all survivors of domestic abuse and s*xual violence, including trans women and non-binary people.

Many of our services remain open for trans survivors and non-binary people.

“We know that trans women and non-binary people are affected by misogyny, which causes harm to cis women and girls, and as such, supporting these survivors is core to Solace’s mission.” — Nahar Choudhury, CEO of Solace

Today we’re launching the Women’s Rough Sleeping Census 2025 report, Missing Women, a collaboration between Solace, , and .

For the fourth year in a row, the census reveals the same alarming reality: women experiencing homelessness are still being overlooked because official systems are searching for rough sleeping in the wrong places.

The census identified up to 10 times more women sleeping rough than official counts.�

This report is more than a warning sign. It demonstrates that there is a better way to count, understand and respond to women’s homelessness.

The evidence is clear. Now is the time for action. We’re calling on the Government to make women’s homelessness visible.

Every year we publish, in partnership with , the Women’s Rough Sleeping Census to expose the true scale of women’s homelessness.

To keep themselves safe, women are less likely than men to 'bed down' for the night and are therefore more likely to be missed by official government counts.

We know that women often sit on buses, in 24 hour fast food restaurants or A&E to avoid abuse and s*xual violence.

If women are missed by official counts, services are not developed with them in mind. This perpetuates their plight. We're here to end that cycle.

🔗 We will be publishing our latest findings later this week - keep an eye on this channel and our website.

Have you ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” that you’re lying, or that you “can’t take a joke”?

These statements can be a form of gaslighting and a way to avoid accountability.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.

Two women have told the BBC they were r***d during the filming of one of Channel 4's biggest shows, Married at First Sight UK, while a third has described an allegation of a non-consensual s*x act.

Nahar Choudhury, chief executive of Solace, said: “These horrifying allegations point to the widespread apathy around women’s safety and cavalier attitudes towards s*xual violence that permeate our society.

“The premise of the show may be high-stakes relationship-based drama, but the supposed ‘reality’ of reality television should not be carried into the lives of participants: no one should ever be placed at risk of violence and abuse.

“The physical and emotional impact of s*xual assault can stay with women for the rest of their lives, impacting their mental health and future relationships. If you or anyone you know has been s*xually assaulted, please reach out to Solace for support.”

The "boys will be boys" trope is more than just a phrase. It is a dangerous excuse rooted in misogyny that dismisses harmful behaviour and shifts accountability.

When we excuse aggression or disrespect as a natural trait, we reinforce a culture that enables abuse. It is time to stop making excuses and start calling it out.

If you’re a survivor of domestic abuse, Solace is here for you.
