Imece
Hackney Council's most recent discussion relevant to Imece, in September 2025, concerned disparities in domestic abuse referrals for Black and Global Majority residents.
In September 2025, Hackney Council's Living in Hackney Scrutiny Commission discussed a disparity in referrals to its Domestic Abuse Intervention Service (DAIS), which commissions Imece to deliver a specialist IDVA service for Black women of African and Caribbean heritage. The discussion noted a higher proportion of Black and Global Majority residents being referred to DAIS compared to the borough's census population.
This issue was discussed as part of a review of the Eliminating Violence Against Women & Girls Strategy 2022-25. No further discussions or decisions directly concerning Imece or the DAIS referral disparity are currently scheduled by Hackney Council.
