Santosh Asian Women's Refuge

"For many Asian women leaving a partner, no matter if he is violent or abusive, is an act of shame and dishonour with far reaching social, family and other consequences...."

Raglan / Santosh Asian Women's Refuge Service Business Plan 2006.

Santosh Asian Women's Refuge has spaces for six women and their children. Each family have their own bedroom but share other facilities and look after themselves.

The aim of the project is to give practical and emotional support to women and children, thus enabling them to make informed decisions about their future and to build self esteem so that they are able to maintain their independence.
