Solace Women’s Aid is the largest specialist charity in London supporting women and children experiencing domestic abuse and sexual violence. Whatever form abuse comes in, from rape to trafficking to relationships based on psychological or financial control, we work to end it. We know that escaping the effects of abuse can be the hardest thing to ever do.
Reports of rape and sexual assault have increased by over 20% and 144,000 reported incidents of domestic violence took place in London over the last year. This means that more women and children are seeking Solace’s support to help them rebuild their lives after violence and abuse. Solace provide anything from counselling and group work to safe accommodation working with over 16,000 women and children a year. We believe nobody should suffer in silence, and campaign for a world free from violence and abuse.
Our ‘Scruff Get’s Home’ campaign tells the story of a Scruff, Harry and Jess, a family finding their way back together after being torn apart by abuse. Help more families this Christmas by giving £20 today by clicking on https://solacewomensaid.org/give-now
