About Stop Domestic Abuse

Stop Domestic Abuse is a leading, women‑led, feminist charity supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse and stalking across Hampshire, Portsmouth and Southampton. Established in 1977 as Havant Women’s Aid, we have grown from a single refuge into a major regional provider delivering specialist, trauma‑informed services through our 19 refuges and community support. Guided by the vision of a world without domestic abuse, we work to empower survivors, amplify their voices and ensure every individual can access safety, dignity and choice.

We deliver a wide range of flexible, accessible services including refuges, dispersed accommodation, community‑based support, specialist children’s services and targeted programmes addressing harmful behaviours. Each year, thousands of adults, children and young people receive one‑to‑one support, group interventions, advocacy and safety planning tailored to their risk level and needs.

Our work is rooted in trauma‑informed practice and holistic support, ensuring survivors are met with compassion, respect and specialist expertise at every stage of their journey. We have also begun building our new purpose-built refuge, which will be an inspiring home for families rebuilding their lives.
