Womens Refuge operating in Waiouru
A women's refuge has been operating in Waiouru since July of last year. The refuge which is run by female volunteers is primarily for women who have been battered or mentally or sexually abused. Help is given with counselling and if refuge is needed they can be taken to a Women's Refuge in either Wanganui or Palmerston North. The refuge offers help and support with no pressures and in total confidence. Since opening in Waiouru the refuge has had over 80 calls from both men and women which shows there is a need for such a service in the Waiouru area.
