Scottish Women's Aid is the lead domestic abuse organisation in Scotland.
The charity plays a vital role coordinating, influencing and campaigning for effective responses to domestic abuse and supports a network of 36 Women's Aid services across Scotland delivering crucial support including refuge, counselling and outreach at a local level.
Scottish Women's Aid also took over management of Scotland's Domestic Abuse and Forced Marriage Helpline[1] in 2016, a national helpline that works in partnership with the Men's Advice Line[2] to provide a 24/7 service to anyone concerned about their own relationship, or about somebody they know.
