We’re proud to launch our new report: Invisible Battles – Strengthening Advocacy and Support for the Armed Forces Community Affected by Domestic Abuse, Sexual Violence, and Stalking.
Rooted in Aurora’s deep experience working with armed forces personnel, this report sheds light on the often-overlooked experiences of victims and survivors within the armed forces community. It explores the barriers they face when seeking help and the urgent need for specialist services that truly understand and meet their unique needs.
Drawing on insights from survivors, frontline professionals, and specialist advocates, Invisible Battles outlines seven key principles – essential foundations for any frontline service supporting armed forces personnel and their families.
This report is both a tribute to the strength and resilience of survivors and a powerful call to action for frontline services and the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) sector.
At Aurora, we’re committed to sharing best practice and fostering stronger collaboration to better support survivors. Stay tuned for further updates, including the launch of our Armed Forces Service Standards later this year.

In October we’re hosting ‘Joining Forces Against VAWG – Independent but Alongside’ – the UK’s first conference bringing together the VAWG sector and the armed forces community. Get your tickets on Eventbrite here.
