The VAWG Helplines Fund will support eleven national helplines offering free, confidential advice. The VAWG Victim Advocacy Support Fund will support seven national advocacy services providing one-to-one support. These sessions are to gather input before the actual funding opens. No funding amounts are specified yet. The deadline for engagement is 20 May 2026.
