Southall Black Sisters is carrying out a survey to hear about women's experiences of being abandoned abroad, as a form of domestic abuse. For background information, please see here: https://southallblacksisters.org.uk/campaigns/transnational-marriage-abandonment/
If this has happened to you, we would be grateful if you could share your experiences in this survey. 
You can complete the survey anonymously if you wish. The results will be used to help Southall Black Sisters to change the law and policy in the UK to end this practice and support women who have suffered from this form of abuse.

If you need assistance or emergency support, please visit https://southallblacksisters.org.uk/contact-us/
