Women's Aid East and Midlothian
Women’s Aid East and Midlothian (WAEML) is a charity and company limited by guarantee to provide support, information, advocacy and temporary accommodation to all women (including transwomen), children and young people who have been subjected to domestic abuse.
We provide a service to women of all ages, with or without disability, lesbian, bisexual and transgender women and women of different races, religion and faiths.
Within our service we have equality activists who are working to eradicate discrimination, harassment or victimisation. They want to ensure our workplace and service is a safe space for all women, children and young people so that everyone feels safe, welcomed, valued, included and respected.
Our phones are staffed by women support workers every Monday – Friday from 9am – 4pm.
