“To eliminate domestic violence
in the community by working for, and with all women and children
affected by domestic violence, to ensure their voices are heard
and their needs met.”
• To provide temporary refuge to women and their children
suffering mental, physical or sexual abuse within the home.
• To encourage the women to take control of her own future,
whether this involves returning home or beginning an independent
life.
• To recognise and care for the emotional needs of the
children and young people involved.
• To offer support and advice to any woman who asks for
it, whether or not she is living in a refuge and to offer supportive
aftercare to women leaving the refuge.
• To educate and inform the public, the media, the courts,
social services and other agencies, always mindful of the fact
that the abuse of women is a direct result of the general position
of women in our society.
