What do we mean by a women's service?

Women's Service means a civil society non-government organisation or program that is managed by women, that delivers services to and for women and their children who are, or have been, victims of domestic and family violence, intimate partner violence, or other forms of gender-based violence against women and which clearly operate with a gendered analysis.
