Gamcare Womens Programme Survey

Gamcare Women's Programme have put together a simple survey to collect and collate the views of women affected by gambling (their own, someone else's). " Our programme is designed to ensure that women who need support can access the right help for them at the right time. The information participants provide will help us to ensure that women’s voices are a cornerstone of the programme, and enable us to represent their interests across all the areas we work in."

The contribution of the WVCS in advancing women’s rights is largely undocumented. Many of the women who were involved in setting up women’s organisations and campaigning for change are now in their late 50s and 60s. Their struggles and achievements have remained largely invisible.
