Our vision is a collective leadership that influences the prevention and elimination of family violence.
Our purpose is to liberate women, children, families and whānau from family violence by providing quality services and social commentary.
Te Wāhi Whakaora Rotorua and District Women's Refuge assists women, children and whānau who are experiencing family violence within the Rotorua and surrounding districts.
We do this through support, advocacy, education, and awareness. Family Violence is a pattern of power, control and coercion – it is not always physical.
Family Violence affects many women in Aotearoa. If something does not feel right, it is not OK and we encourage you to reach out.
We look forward to us working together to achieve your goals in relation to your safety and the safety of your whanau.
We are here to support you to make an informed decision about the options available to you and to help you implement any goals and plans you put in place.
This journey is yours. The choices are yours. The successes are yours.
We are here to smooth the path for you and make sure you have emotional and practical support as you work to create a violence free life.
