    Employer Profile

    In the 1970’s the women’s rights movement identified the daily struggles that women faced, including low pay and domestic violence. The movement worked towards women achieving equality, the right to determine their own futures whether in the home, workplace or society in general and the freedom to live their lives free from abuse and discrimination.

    The women’s rights movement identified domestic violence as a mechanism used by men to assert power and control in the home over wives and partners. Cardiff Women’s Aid was founded in 1974 and has developed its policies, procedures and services to reflect its determination to ensure women’s rights are upheld through women supporting women.

    Cardiff Women’s Aid still believes that whilst domestic violence and abuse and similar issues are now openly discussed and some women feel more empowered to walk away from an abusive relationship, women continue to have a lack of power and equality and this needs to be addressed.

    Job Role

    holder will be responsible for working with children, and their
    mothers, who have witnessed or experienced domestic
    abuse & violence.
