Safety
When lives are on the line we are the first line of defence against gender-based violence.
Justice
Our work is to ensure that survivors understand their rights and if they choose to report we are there to ensure their voices are heard.
Equality
Surrey Women’s Centre works in partnership with local police and court to help bridge the gap between survivors and justice.
When lives are on the line we are the first line of defence against gender-based violence
When a survivor in Surrey experiences gender-based violence, their life’s on the line. When their life is on the line, Surrey Women’s Centre will likely be their first-line of contact. Surrey Women’s Centre is designated as an essential service and our work is critical in ensuring safety of survivors escaping violence.
Your support means we can respond quickly during a critical window of opportunity
In these life-and-death situations, time is of essence. The earlier we intervene the more likely we are to prevent serious injury or even death. The moment we receive a call, our team of frontline workers will assess the level of risk and develop a plan to ensure the safety of the survivor and their loved ones.
