Description

For over 30 years, Inner City Women’s Group has provided culturally safe, trauma-informed support for wāhine affected by family violence. We honour the lived experiences, strengths and stories of each woman - creating spaces where safety, dignity and mana are restored. Through specialist programmes and advocacy supports, we walk alongside wāhine in ways that are holistic, evidence-based and flexible, ensuring every woman can access support that empowers her to live free from violence and reclaim control over her own future.

We have a commitment to ensuring our services are accessible to all women affected by family violence.
