Former British footballer Eniola Aluko has been named an ambassador for domestic abuse charity Refuge.

Aluko commented 'I'm incredibly excited to build on my previous work with Refuge by joining the charity as an ambassador. As a Black woman in the public eye, I know all too well the cost of a culture which minimises and trivialises women's experiences of abuse. Pervasive misogyny means that victim-blaming, ostracisation and professional penalisation are just some of the consequences faced by the women who challenge abusive individuals'.
