Violence against women is everyone’s business and everyone can make a difference – so take a stand today

Three quarters of women who experience domestic abuse and violence are targeted at work – from harassing phone calls and abusive partners arriving at the workplace unannounced, to physical and sexual violence.

1 in 3 women experience some form of violence and abuse.

2 women are killed every week on average in England and Wales.

21% of employed women take time off work because of domestic violence.

53% of abused workers (of all gender identities) miss at least 3 days from work per month.

About Us: Our Approach

For over four decades we’ve provided support, leadership and representation for the national network of specialist services in Wales. Providing a voice for specialist services and the survivors and families they work with helps us advocate to inform and transform laws, policy and practice to benefit survivors of abuse.

Statement of Support

Welsh Women’s Aid is a feminist organisation, and our values are founded on commitments to human rights, anti-discrimination and freedom from oppression. Our approach is founded on the following value-base:

We are feminist and value diversity of lived experiences – we amplify diverse voices, recognising that identities and life experience impact on experiences of abuse and access to support, safety and justice. We advocate ending violence against women and girls alongside the liberation of all women and girls from multiple oppressions like sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, ageism, ableism, transphobia, to attain social justice for all.

We promote integrity – we are accountable, and place survivors’ voices and their lived experiences central to our work. We encourage respect, transparency and learning from experience, we challenge misuse of power and promote social responsibility in all we do.

We collaborate – we work with survivors, specialist services, other organisations, individuals and communities, to capacity-build services and to evidence and deliver what works in preventing violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence.

We empower – we advocate a rights-based approach so that all women and children can achieve their full potential, and we promote services led by and for women/minoritised groups as being vital to meeting needs and to achieving social, economic and political liberation from patriarchy, racism, and other oppressions.

We transform – we are committed to challenging inequalities and discrimination, to combining high-quality services with activism for social change, and building a movement that ends violence against women and girls and liberates women and girls from multiple and intersecting oppressions to benefit everyone.

To achieve our vision we will focus on:

1. Preventing violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence from happening in the first place.
2. Ensuring provision of quality services for survivors that build on strengths, meet needs and reduce the harmful effects of abuse over time.
3. Creating effective partnerships with survivors, specialist services and others to strengthen our movement to achieve change that lasts.
