NEED HELP?

Welcome to Shakti

Shakti Woman’s Refuge Trust has undergone a significant reform and restructuring, emerging as a newly established entity from Shakti Community Council. This revitalised organisation is dedicated exclusively to serving clients and ensuring the safety and well-being of all women.

Shakti Woman’s Refuge Trust is a non-profit organisation serving migrant and refugee women of Asian, African and Middle Eastern origin. Shakti; meaning strength; works to have a world where women and children are empowered to live a life of dignity free from fear and violence and are able to exercise their rights, choices and responsibilities.

We endeavour to facilitate and ensure safety and overall well-being of all women, young women and children through strategic intervention measures aimed at eliminating all forms of oppression and gender-based violence.

Led by ethnic women for ethnic women, Shakti is dedicated to promoting and protecting human rights of both women and children and advocating social change.

CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF SHAKTI

Shakti will celebrate 30 years of transformative service in New Zealand.

Since its founding in 1995, countless women have played pivotal roles in shaping our journey and impact in New Zealand.

As we mark this significant milestone, we will embark on a journey through time, revisiting the remarkable achievements and pivotal moments that have defined Shakti’s history. This reflective celebration will honour the dedication and contributions of those who have been central to our mission, vision and purpose.
