We work in Redfern, inner City, inner west and southwest Sydney, on the lands of the Gadigal, Wangal and Dharug people of the Eora Nation.
Every night, we support 200 women and children impacted by homelessness, domestic violence and systemic disadvantage. Equally, we seek to address the underlying causes of gender-based violence through primary prevention activities with communities that want to be a part of the global movement to end gender-based violence in a generation.
