battered women shelters

Battered women’s shelters are safe, confidential places where women experiencing domestic abuse can find refuge and support. They offer temporary housing, emotional counseling, safety planning, and resources to help women escape violence and rebuild their lives. Shelters also provide access to legal assistance, support groups, and community services. The goal is to ensure safety, empower women, and facilitate their path to independence while protecting them from further harm. These shelters are staffed by trained professionals dedicated to addressing the complex needs of survivors of domestic violence.
