A new study has found that gambling harms can intensify domestic abuse and act as a form of escapism for female victims—putting women and children at risk of long-term housing instability. The research, produced in partnership between four major U.K. universities—the University of Nottingham, Durham University, Cranfield University and the University of Sheffield—highlights the urgent need for housing providers to recognize and respond to these risks to better protect women and families.
