We understand that women are often unjustly blamed for the violence they have experienced and respect the ways women may have tried to prevent or resist being abused. We are aware of the barriers which make it difficult for women to leave violent relationships and endeavour to provide support and advocacy with whatever problem a woman may face which affects her ability to establish a life free from violence.

We believe you have the right to:

• Be listened to, believed, and supported

• Have practical information about options that are accurate and relevant

• Have space to express your own needs and have your decisions respected

• Have your confidentiality and privacy respected

• Access interpreter services
