Media & Communications

We are passionate about using our expert knowledge of domestic abuse to educate, inform and affect change. We know that media and communications are key tools for achieving this mission.

We have produced a variety of media to raise awareness of our services, campaign for change and enhance widespread understandings of domestic abuse.

One of our recent campaigns, #StillInLockdown week saw over 30 organisations across Scotland post our resources on their social media profiles for a week. The purpose was to address the lack of attention given to domestic abuse compared to the beginning of the pandemic - a period where we saw increased coverage of domestic abuse, donations and support from the general public.

Check out all of our online media campaigns on our Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and our second Instagram specifically for our young women’s service, Enough!!.

Check out our latest campaign challenging the myths surrounding domestic abuse. 16 organisations across Glasgow have signed up to display a QR code poster on their premises

About Us

We were established in 1973 during the second wave of the women’s liberation movement – a period where activists collectively recognized that there was a need to provide support and safe refuge to women experiencing domestic abuse. Initially, our focus was on women’s experiences, but as the organization evolved our focus included children and young people.
