Cardiff Women’s Aid

Violence against women is a systematic product of our unequal society, so, we do more than just provide services. We work to transform society’s response to survivors of abuse through outreach, training and advocacy.

While each of our services has its own key aim, everything we do is interconnected. Our specialist team has the knowledge and skills to bring all the elements of service provision together. Each personal advocate is as comfortable discussing legal protection and housing options as she is using her skills to address trauma.
