If a partner or ex-partner is controlling and abusing someone, it may be impossible for them to find safety and freedom without support and advocacy from others.
You can help a victim get safe and stay safe. Your donation can give them the advice and options they need to find safety.
Shine advocates help with practical support and work with other agencies to coordinate services and advocate on a victim’s behalf. The pandemic has created terrible conditions for domestic violence. Our Advocate Team Leader says it’s the “most horrific violence” she’s seen in two decades. We need your support to help as many high-risk victims as possible.
