Women’s Aid is the lead voluntary organisation in Northern Ireland addressing domestic abuse and providing specialist services and support to women and children.

Women’s Aid defines domestic abuse as the intentional and persistent physical or emotional abuse of a woman, or of a woman and her children in a way that causes pain, distress or injury.

We provide emergency accommodation for women and children affected by domestic abuse in refuge and self-contained flats.

We provide one to one support, practical help and group work for women affected by domestic abuse across Antrim, Ballymena, Carrickfergus, Larne and Newtownabbey.

We provide early intervention and support for mums and children experiencing domestic abuse in the family home.

We provide one to one emotional and therapeutic support for children and young people affected by domestic abuse.

We provide healthy relationships education, support and group work for young people.
