Women for Women works tirelessly to
break the cycle of domestic violence
Women for Women provides a shelter for women and their children who are victims of domestic violence. Established in 1977, our brave founders pioneered the first shelter in the country to offer both physical and emotional security for women. The shelter operates around the clock, 365 days a year, welcoming women with unconditional love regardless of race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, age, or socio-economic status.
During their stay in the shelter, women and their children receive compassionate, comprehensive, and professional support aimed at healing and empowering them to transition to new and independent lives within the community.
The shelter is supervised, supported, and primarily funded by the Ministry of Welfare
Women are directed to shelters from across the country by welfare services, law enforcement, and hospitals
