Our Services
At Women’s Refuge we are much
more than safe houses.
The majority of our clients are in the community.
There are advocates in the Refuges throughout New Zealand trained in all areas of family violence and they will be able to advise and support you wherever they can including a plan to leave. You can call them for a confidential chat, you don’t have to commit to anything if you don’t want to they are just here to listen.
