Women’s Aid will listen to you and believe you.

There are local Women’s Aid groups all over Scotland. You can phone or visit them. You don’t need an appointment but it’s best to phone first to check when they are open.

If your partner is abusive, you can get support from Women’s Aid. You can get support whether or not you are living with your partner.

All Women’s Aid groups can:

  • Help you find ways to keep yourself and your children as safe as possible.
  • Give you confidential information and support.
  • Tell you about your rights to legal protection, housing and money.
  • Provide a safe place to stay in a refuge (if available) or in local authority emergency accommodation. This can be in your local area or elsewhere.
  • Put you in touch with other services which can help.

Women’s Aid supports children and young people too.
