Working Towards a Society That's Free From Domestic Abuse

Welcome to Edinburgh Women's Aid

Welcome to
Edinburgh Women's Aid

Edinburgh Women’s Aid (EWA) support women, children and young people who are experiencing domestic abuse. We offer confidential and non-judgemental, emotional and practical support services to any woman, child or young person affected by current (or post-separation) intimate partner abuse, living in Edinburgh. We operate from a person-centred approach and so we will support and listen to you, respecting your right to make the choices best for you.

Our Helpline and Crisis Support Service is open six days a week. To speak to one of our specialist support workers, please Get in Touch.  If you can’t speak to us on the phone or via email, we offer an open drop-in service at our Edinburgh office

50 Years of Edinburgh Women's Aid

50 Years of
Edinburgh Women's Aid

In 2023, Edinburgh Women’s Aid commemorated 50 years of service. Although attitudes are changing, the number of cases of domestic abuse reported each year is still high and so there is still a long way to go in our fight for a society free from domestic abuse – over 2000 women contact us each year.
