Glasgow Women‘s Aid has been supporting women, children and young people who are experiencing domestic abuse for more than 45 years. We provide information, support and safe temporary refuge accommodation. We offer support, advocacy and education services to the public, professionals and survivors.

We were established in 1973 during the second wave of the women’s liberation movement – a period where activists collectively recognised that there was a need to provide support and safe refuge to women experiencing domestic abuse. Initially, our focus was on women’s experiences, but as the organisation evolved our focus included children and young people. Our organisation was built by pioneering women volunteers on donations alone. Built upon these grassroots, feminist principles, we have expanded year after year whilst maintaining these feminist values. Your donations allow us to provide the best service we can for women, children, and young people experiencing domestic abuse.

Our support and advocacy services include our Child Contact Group for survivors going through the court ordered child contact system, survivor-led peer-support groups, our ‘Enough!!’ support service for young women experiencing abuse in their relationships, advocacy services (IDAA and MARAC), play therapy services for children experiencing domestic abuse, group support sessions, outreach and follow-on services for women, children and young people.

We are open Monday to Friday 9.30am - 4.30pm. Women can receive support by dropping in to visit us at 30 Bell Street, Glasgow, G1 1LG, by calling our crisis line on 0141 553 2022 or emailing getsupport@glasgowwomensaid.org.uk. Our workers will listen to and support women to make the decisions that are right for her and her children (if she has any). 

The development of our service provision over the last 40 plus years has been guided by the women, children and young people that we have supported. They have always been our inspiration.
