Animation series with Police Scotland
Hemat Gryffe Women’s Aid works closely with Police Scotland to ensure the safety of women, children, and young people experiencing domestic abuse, honour-based abuse, and forced marriage.
We understand that approaching the police can feel daunting for some survivors. That’s why we work in partnership to advocate for women, children, and young people, and reassure them that the authorities are there to help.
To make this easier to understand, we have teamed up with Police Scotland to create a series of animations explaining how to get support if you are experiencing domestic abuse or honour-based abuse.
The animations were funded by Hemat Gryffe Women’s Aid and The University of Strathclyde, designed to help survivors understand their rights, the support available, and how the police can help. They are translated into multiple languages: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Hindi, Polish, Punjabi, Russian, Ukrainian, Urdu, and British Sign Language. You can watch the full animation series on the Hemat Gryffe Women’s Aid YouTube channel.
Domestic Abuse Animation
As part of 16 Days of Activism for Violence Against Women and Girls, we worked with Police Scotland to create an animation specifically for immigrant women in Scotland experiencing domestic abuse.
The animation explains that:
- All women in Scotland are protected from abuse and exploitation under Scots law
- You can access support safely, regardless of your background or immigration status
These animations are a key part of our work to ensure that everyone knows their rights and can get help when they need it.
