With CHW dedicating over 100 years to helping combat domestic violence, its efforts with World WIZO continue to be ongoing and ever needed.

One of the most impactful methods to fighting against domestic violence is through prevention; which is why CHW proudly works with World WIZO to help support Centres for the Treatment and Prevention of Violence as well as a Violent Men’s Helpline.

These support outlets aim to save lives, put an end to violent acts, and keep families together. 

Shelly and Yaron’s story of how both the Centre for the Treatment and Prevention of Violence and the Violent Men’s Helpline was there when their lives were falling apart demonstrates just how critical and life-saving our work is.

Every day, we encounter people without knowing their stories. Where they came from; the home they grew up in; the care they received. We often do not realize the traumas that many have gone through, like Adam and his mother, whose lives were saved by a WIZO Shelter for Battered Women.

World WIZO, with the support of CHW, operates two shelters that can accommodate 12 women and 25 children each. The shelters have social workers, psychologists, an expert in sexual trauma, legal aid support, and job training. The utmost is done to provide an escape for these women and children and to enable them to rebuild their lives.
