Emerge Women and Children's Support Network
Emerge supports women and children who have experienced domestic violence, enabling them to break the cycle of violence and rebuild their lives.
Domestic violence affects 1 in 3 Australian women. It is the leading contributor to death, disability and illness for women aged 15 to 44.
The impact of domestic violence is wide-reaching and can continue for generations. As well as the grief, fear, shame and suffering experienced by abused women and children, domestic violence touches each one of us, exacting its heavy toll on the entire community by contributing to everything from increased health costs to lost workplace productivity.
Domestic violence is Australia’s most serious health problem. But living a life free from domestic violence is possible, with the right support. Emerge provides that support.
