ABOUT OUR CHARITY
WOMEN'S AND GIRLS EMERGENCY CENTRE
Women’s and Girls’ Emergency Centre (WAGEC) is a feminist, community-based organisation that supports women and children in crisis. Every night, we support 200 women and children impacted by domestic violence, homelessness, and other disadvantage.
Services we provide
We provide immediate solutions to women and families in crisis, including crisis response, shelter, material aid and case management.
Our tailored programs promote recovery from trauma by breaking the cycle of violence, restoring safety, building financial independence, and fostering connection with community.
We provide specialised support to children and young people impacted by domestic violence and homelessness, to help them heal, grow and thrive.
We deliver the first violence prevention initiative in NSW that works to stop abuse before it starts by addressing the underlying drivers of gender-based violence through advocacy, workplace training and community education.

Walk to call for an end to violence against women and children.
Every day for the past 47 years, WAGEC has been on the frontlines.
From a small drop-in service to an organisation supporting hundreds of clients each day, WAGEC has continued to grow alongside demand for our services.
Our vision is to create safe futures for women and families by ending gender-based violence in a generation.
We are based in Redfern, Sydney and work on the lands of the Gadigal, Wangal and Dharawal people of the Eora Nation.
