How we help:
Women | Wahine
Supporting our Women | Wahine
Wāhine may be at any stage, questioning, feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or simply needing someone to talk to. Whatever you are facing, you deserve safety, respect, and a space where your voice is heard. At Ōtepoti Dunedin Whānau Refuge, our support is confidential, free, and guided by your choices, ensuring you are supported in a way that feels right for you.
When to seek support
You do not need to be certain that what you are experiencing is “serious enough” to reach out. Many wāhine seek support when something doesn’t
feel right, when things feel confusing, unsafe, or overwhelming.
Questioning whether your experience is abuse
Not wanting to leave, but needing support or clarity
Wanting someone to listen and understand
Concerned about the impact on your tamariki
Feeling that things may be escalating or becoming unsafe
