Women escaping domestic abuse are usually advised to seek refuge services far away from their perpetrator, but raising the cash to pay for a train ticket can be very difficult for many women. This is especially true for women experiencing economic abuse, who may have no access to cash. Rail to Refuge is a scheme launched by Women's Aid in partnership with two UK rail operators and aims to provide a safe passage for women in need. The scheme starts when a woman secures a place in an emergency refuge, and if that refuge can be accessed by railway, the ticket cost will be supported by the train operator. The program works across England, Scotland, and Wales, and more info can be found on womensaid.org.uk
