Purpose:
Jewish Women’s Aid (JWA) is a unique charity for Jewish women is a unique charity for Jewish women and their children who have experienced or are experiencing domestic abuse. One woman in four will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. It affects all women, regardless of age, education, class, lifestyle or religion; the Jewish community is no different from any other.
That means that every year, thousands of Jewish women will face violence against themselves and their children from within their own home. And there is just one organisation in the UK dealing specifically with the needs of abused Jewish women. That organisation is Jewish Women’s Aid.
Domestic violence can be physical, psychological, financial or emotional abuse from a partner, husband or former partner.
