Women In Need (WIN),
is a non-profit Social Service Organisation committed
to the elimination of Domestic Violence and other forms
of Violence Against Women and Children. The main vision
of the Organisation is to support Women and Children
who are
Victimsof Violence in Sri Lanka.
If you are a victim of
domestic abuse what can you do about it ?
If you are an abused
woman, it is important to consider your options carefully.
Some women decide they want to leave the abusive relationship.
Others decide they are unable to leave; while still
others may decide to stay with their partner and try
to make changes in both their lives in terms of ending
the violence.
