Women’s services are pro-women; this has sometimes been misconstrued as meaning "anti-men" but this is not the case.

Women’s services, run by women for women, provide a safe and sensitive place for women to gain a feeling of control over their lives. They enable women to be a part of the movement for social change in the attitudes about women and children, which lead to violence and homelessness. Women’s services recognise the reality of violence against women and seek to challenge and eliminate that violence, and whilst providing services directly to women and children, many of our community education programs and community development programs are also accessible to men.
