Many women and children in Scotland are traumatised and in danger
Every year over 60,000 reports of domestic abuse are recorded by police across Scotland. This is just the tip of the iceberg and signals a nationwide tragedy that demands action. Women seeking justice and support often encounter inadequate police responses, a legal process that re-traumatises and endangers them, and grossly insufficient justice. With your help we can change this.
Help our work to end domestic abuse in Scotland
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. This work makes women and children safer and helps them disentangle themselves from their abusers.
- 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 and help to women and children affected by domestic abuse
