About Moray Women's Aid

Moray Women’s Aid is a charitable organisation registered with OSCR and a company limited by guarantee.

Moray Women’s Aid has been providing services for women, children and young people who experience domestic abuse since 1987. We work across all areas of Moray offering a wide range of services including Refuge and Dispersed accommodation, 1-1 emotional and practical support, Advocacy, Counselling, Drop –in sessions and a Children and Young Person’s Project. We also contribute to local training and awareness raising sessions and work with partner agencies to extend coherent and effective services which support and protect individuals who have experienced abuse. Domestic Abuse is a gendered crime which is deeply rooted and predominantly effects women regardless of race, ethnicity, sexuality, class or disability. Domestic abuse occurs in every community in Scotland and prevents thousands of women, children, and young people from living life to the full. It stops them from being safe, being healthy, being financially secure and being able to develop to their full potential. Scotland now has a clear commitment to tackling domestic abuse and a zero-tolerance approach to this fundamental infringement of human rights. By joining with others, and with everyone working together, we are hopeful for a future where domestic abuse no longer exists and we can fulfil our vision of

“An equitable society in which women, children and young people are valued participants, able to determine their own future and free from all forms of abuse.”
