Leeds Women's Aid

Leeds Women's Aid is a registered UK charity (number: 1005884)

Our mission is to protect women and children in Leeds from the damage that domestic violence can inflict on their lives. We will do this because we believe that all women and children have the right to live their lives free from fear and harm. We will achieve this by providing women with choices from a range of services including temporary supported housing, outreach support, telephone support and floating support.

Warning: if you're worried about someone knowing you have visited this website please read the safety information available on this page from the National Women's Aid site.

Leeds Women's Aid offers safe, emergency, temporary accommodation and support to any woman - with or without children - experiencing domestic violence.

We define domestic violence as physical, emotional, sexual or financial abuse by a partner, ex-partner, or any family member. We include forced marriage and forced prostitution. We do not include neighbourhood violence or stranger rape.

Women do not have to flee the violence or come into refuge to receive our support. Our Outreach and Telephone Support teams support women currently experiencing violence.

The addresses of our refuges, dispersed houses and the city office are all confidential and we do not give out any information about women without their consent.

Agencies can also contact our Outreach team for support in good practice and awareness of how to work with women experiencing domestic violence.
