Women are the overwhelming majority of victims of domestic abuse, a violation of their and their children’s human rights. Women’s Aid is the national charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children. Founded on women’s struggle against patriarchy, sexism and male violence, we believe that domestic abuse is the result of an abuse of power and control and is rooted in the historical status and inequality of women in society.
Over the past 46 years, Women’s Aid has been at the forefront of shaping and coordinating responses to domestic abuse through practice, research and policy. As a federation of just over 170 organisations, we provide almost 300 local lifesaving services to women and children. We empower survivors by keeping their voices at the heart of our work, working with and for women and children by listening to them and responding to their needs. We take an intersectional approach to our work to end domestic abuse and stand with other feminist organisations leading the way in eradicating Violence Against Women and Girls.
