Call Directions Website

We are a voluntary organisation which provides support, advice and refuge accommodation to women and children who have experienced domestic abuse.

Domestic abuse is the physical, emotional, sexual or financial violence that takes place within an intimate relationship, such as with a partner, boyfriend or husband. Domestic abuse involves coercive and controlling behaviour, and does not always involve physical violence. Most domestic abuse is perpetrated by men against women and children, but this is not always the case. Stirling and District Women's Aid is open to women who have experience of domestic abuse within same sex relationships, and to transgender women. Physical abuse could include slapping, punching, strangling, scalding, burning and the use of weapons. Emotional abuse could include being insulted and put down, being threatened, being prevented from seeing your friends of family. It could also involve being made fun of because of your race, sexual orientation or gender identity. Sexual abuse is any sexual behaviour that you do not want and have not consented to. This could include unwanted touching, feeling pressured to take part in sexual acts that you're not comfortable with, being made to view sexual images and rape. Financial abuse could include not allowing you to have access to the money that you need or not allowing you to go out to work to earn money. If you're worried that some of these things are going on in your relationship, then help and support is available from Stirling and District Women's Aid.

✨ What a fantastic job our team has done this week! 💛

Our team has been busy transforming one of our refuge spaces into a warm, beautiful and welcoming home for a family who will be joining us very soon 🏡

Creating a homely environment is such an important part of what we do. We want every woman and family coming into refuge to feel safe, secure, welcomed and supported from the moment they arrive.

Our amazing team have worked incredibly hard, putting so much time, care and love into creating this beautiful space, and we think you’ll agree that their efforts have absolutely paid off! ✨

A huge thank you to our wonderful local community, too. The support we receive makes such a difference, with funds raised helping us create these welcoming spaces for women and their families who are seeking safety and support 💛

Thank you for being part of what makes this possible 💗

Did you know? - you can contact the Police without speaking 📱

If you’re in danger but can’t safely speak during an emergency call, the 'Silent Solution' could help.

🚨 Here’s what to do:

📞 Call 999 and ask for the police.

🤫 If you’re calling from a mobile and can’t speak, listen carefully to the operator’s instructions.

🔢 When prompted, press 55 to indicate that you need police assistance. You’ll be connected to the police, who will assess the situation and determine the appropriate response.

⚠️ Important: by simply staying silent does not guarantee that police will attend. Pressing 55 helps the operator identify that you need assistance, but it does not automatically provide your exact location.

💜If you are able to, please share this post to help spread awareness.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse and you live within the Stirling area, you can contact us on:

NEW: The SNP have announced that the Scottish Government will increase the financial support available to help women leave abusive relationships.

Closing the SNP’s main conference hall on Friday, Deputy First Minister Jenny Gilruth announced two measures which she said would tackle 'the financial uncertainty and coercive control that too often leaves women in unsafe situations'.

'No woman will be turned away from support,' she said. 'Any woman who needs financial support to leave an abusive man will receive it from the Scottish Government.' 👇
