WHAT DOES WOMEN'S REFUGE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

women's refuge

Women's shelter

A women's shelter is a place of temporary refuge and support for women escaping violent or abusive situations, such as rape and domestic violence. The managers of many of these locations have often expanded their efforts to deal with related issues such as housing victimized children, both male and female, fleeing abuse as well as providing legal aid for domestic violence victims, among many other services.

The most dangerous time for a domestic violence sufferer is on the point of exit. A person in a domestic violence situation should create an exit safety plan, to leave the situation in a safe manner. Initially a response to violence against women, a women's shelter may also serve as a place for women to organize for equality, which is an important distinction from standard government-funded service-based approaches to domestic violence. Many states and cities have domestic violence coalitions supporting women's shelters. In the U.S.
