In conversation with Ehinor Otaigbe: Protecting children by helping mothers escape abuse

We spoke to Ehinor Otaigbe MBE about how her Churchill Fellowship is shaping her work to support African women and children affected by domestic abuse. Drawing on her own experience, her work through Wonderfully Made Woman, and learning from organisations in Nigeria, Atlanta, and New York, Ehinor reflects on why children’s trauma must not be treated as an afterthought in domestic abuse support. She shares how her Fellowship is helping her shift conversations in the UK, working with faith and community leaders to support women and children to heal and move forward.

Beyond shelter: a different model for tackling homelessness

Ella Hancock reflects on how her Fellowship explored whether shared housing could offer more choice, dignity, and belonging for people at risk of homelessness. Drawing on visits to cohousing communities in the Netherlands, Sweden, and the US, she shares how shared spaces, community-led models, and resident agency can help reduce isolation and create more supportive places to live. As the housing crisis deepens, Ella argues that the strongest ideas from cohousing could help shape more affordable, inclusive housing in the UK.
