What is domestic violence?

You do not need to justify leaving a situation where you feel threatened or scared to anyone. Domestic violence comes in many different forms and is usually a pattern of power, control and coercion. Abuse is not just physical. It can be verbal, emotional and you should trust your intuition. If something does not feel right to you, or you do not feel your children are safe then it is not ok.

If you are being abused, remember it is not your fault. Violence towards you or your children or pets is not ok and we are here to help you. At Nelson Women’s Refuge we do not judge. We will listen to you and support you to make the best choices for your safety.

Any services provided by us to you are confidential and free. The priority we have is to keep you and your children safe.

How we can help you

Gift a Safe Night

Every night, over 200 women in New Zealand need a safe place to escape to.

One night of safety at Women’s Refuge for a woman and child costs just $20 and includes a clean safe bed, secure transport, hot meals, supportive staff, 24/7 crisis line and helpful advice.

We also appreciate monetary donations. Nelson Women’s and Children’s Refuge is a not for profit organisation, so every little bit counts.

Our vision is for all women and their tamariki to live free from domestic and family violence.  Our services are offered across the Nelson / Tasman / Golden Bay and Murchison areas. There is no part of our region that is too remote for us to help you.
