Women's Refuges and Housing Program - Women's Electoral Lobby

Women’s refuges save lives. We request that the Prime Minister act swiftly to agree to a long-term secure separate national funding program for women’s refuges to ensure women and children escaping family and domestic violence have a safe haven and access to specialist services to enable them to rebuild their lives.

I’m old enough to recall the opening of the Elsie women’s refuge in Glebe. Since then many have been helped by properly funded & staffed refuges. Violence against women is real & refuges are vital!

We need to include girls and young women who are escaping trauma, violence and the like, and for whom going home is not an option in this action as well. We need more gender specific refuges for girls and young women.
