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.
