Border Women's Aid

Border Women’s Aid (BWA) is the only domestic abuse service in the Scottish Borders run by women for women. We are women supporting women to regain control of their lives away from abusive relationships. Our women-only spaces provide a physically and emotionally safe environment that is vital to survivors’ safety and recovery, helps women reduce their isolation and enables women to develop peer support networks.

We work in a person-centred way, to support every woman, whatever her background, who reaches out to us. This approach treats every woman as a unique individual, empowering her to decide what is best for her and her children.
