With COVID-19 lockdowns, domestic abuse towards women and children has been disproportionately on the rise and is being perpetuated by an increase in mental health issues (The Lancet, 2020). 

Your donation to Leeds Women's Aid (LWA) will help support women and children suffering from domestic abuse. LWA's services include:

• Emergency refuge accommodation; 
  
• 24/7 telephone helpline; and
• Support & interventions for children and young people.
