Jersey Women's Refuge
Jersey Women’s Refuge helps any woman who has been affected by domestic abuse. Domestic abuse is any form of physical, emotional, financial or sexual abuse which is used to gain power and control over another person in an intimate relationship.
The Women’s Refuge have both outreach workers and a safe house.
The outreach workers work in the community and you can meet with them to get support regarding the domestic abuse. They will never force you to do anything if you're not ready, instead they focus on empowering you to recognise that you can move on and they will support you if you choose to stay in the relationship or if you choose to leave.
Should you choose to leave, they have a safe house where you can go and stay and begin to move on with your life.
