Eaves Womens' Aid

Women's Aid is a project that helps to protect women suffering from the effects of domestic violence. It provides assistance to women and children who have been forced to flee thier homes, and can offer them accommodation, counselling and specialist legal services.

1/4 of all women in the UK will experience domestic violence in their lifetime
No type of crime has a repeat victimisation rate as high as that for domestic violence
Around 40% of homeless women cite domestic violence as a cause for their situation

The Lilleth Project

The Lilleth project is funded by Eaves to conduct research into forms of violence against women. Under this project Eaves also provides support and training to other agencies, such as the police, who work directly with victims of violence and trafficking. The research is a significant base for lobbying government policy towards domestic violence and prostitution.
