Creating a Safe and Supportive Environment for Women Affected by Domestic Violence
Who do we help?
Are you or someone you know experiencing domestic abuse? At Emaan Refuge, we understand the pain and fear that comes with living in an abusive relationship. It can feel overwhelming and isolating, but there is hope and there is help.
Our team at Emaan Refuge is dedicated to providing a range of services and support to women and their children who are affected by domestic abuse. We offer counseling to help our clients cope with the effects of abuse, legal assistance to navigate restraining orders and other legal issues, education and employment training to help our clients become financially independent, and support groups to connect with other survivors and build a sense of community and support.
All of our services are provided in a safe, supportive, and culturally sensitive environment, and are designed to help our clients find safety, support, and empowerment as they work to overcome domestic abuse. If you or someone you know is in need of help, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to provide the support and assistance you need to build a stronger, safer future.
