Refuge is a United Kingdom charity providing specialist support for women and children experiencing domestic violence. Refuge supports women and children who experience all forms of violence and abuse, including domestic violence, sexual violence, female genital mutilation, forced marriage, so-called ‘honour’-based violence, and human trafficking and modern slavery. At Refuge we believe that no-one should have to live in fear of violence and abuse. Refuge’s specialist services include refuges, independent advocacy, community outreach projects, culturally specific services and the 24 hour National Domestic Violence Helpline, run in partnership with Women’s Aid. Refuge provides specialist support to women, children and some men escaping domestic violence and other forms of violence.
