Womankind Worldwide
WOMANKIND Worldwide helps women in developing countries - silenced or isolated by harmful traditions, conflict, violence and intimidation or the sheer exhaustion of surviving in poverty - to have a distinctive say in what goes on in their family, community and country.

Refuge
We believe that every woman and child experiencing domestic violence has different needs – there is no single package of services to meet those needs, no ‘one size fits all'. Refuge offers a range of services which gives women and children access to professional support whatever their situation
