Scottish Women's Aid Limited

About

Scottish Women’s Aid is the lead organisation in Scotland working to end domestic abuse. We are both a children’s rights and a women’s rights organisation. We directly campaign to institutions and leaders for policies and laws that address the drivers of women’s inequality and improve responses to domestic abuse. We provide training to public and private bodies to educate them on how to effectively respond to survivors, which reduces survivor trauma and increases their safety. We raise the profile of domestic abuse nationally and internationally so that domestic abuse is treated like the critical threat to human rights that it is. We run Scotland’s 24-Hour Domestic Abuse and Forced Marriage Helpline to ensure help is always available while actively supporting a network of 33 specialist local Women’s Aid services that directly support and provide refuge to women and children.
