I was given resources to help me with my situation and was advised to seek assistance from this organization. Since 2019 I have been trying to seek help for me and my children with no success. I am always rejected or never receive a follow up once my intake is done. I am a social worker myself and always wonder to myself how come all the clients I advise to seek help from this organization gets results and not me. I called to speak with a supervisor to inform them that I believe someone in that organization may possibly know my previous abuser in some way and may be restricting me from receiving help. A representative there informed me that there was a conflict of interest and that is why they would not represent me. There was no follow up or reasoning for it to be a conflict of interest and if so why am I not being told why. This organization is suppose to help and support women who have been physically and mentally abused, but if you have workers there who are being deceitful and bias to women who really are looking for help after enduring such trauma they should be reported with consequences.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Hi Crystal, this is awful. Sorry to hear that this happened to you. We are unable to provide client support or counseling online, but we can direct you to two hotline options based on where you live so you can talk to someone immediately. If you are based in Philadelphia, consider calling the Philadelphia Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-866-723-3014 for safety planning, resources, and information. If you live outside the state of Pennsylvania, you may call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (or visit thehotline.org), which can link you with resources in your area.

Why does help with emergency shelter assistance depend on the size of my family. we are a family of 10 in need of service due to being displaced because of domestics as well as having a slum lord and yes i paid my rent the whole 3 years i was there

sawaya merritt | Apr 24, 2022
Women Against Abuse | Apr 24, 2022

Hi Sawaya, we're really sorry to hear of your situation. Women Against Abuse's emergency shelters can accommodate large family sizes when there are beds available in our safe havens. Unfortunately, the need for emergency shelter for people fleeing violent relationships can sometimes outpace available supply, and as a result we do have to turn people away if our beds are all already full. In these cases, hotline counselors work with survivors over the phone to create a safety plan until space opens up in the safe havens. If you are in need of emergency shelter due to domestic violence, please call the Philadelphia Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-866-723-3014.

Hi Maria, if you are experiencing relationship abuse and live outside of Philadelphia, PA, you may want to connect with the National Domestic Violence Hotline. They can connect you with resources local to your area: 1-800-799-SAFE (or visit thehotline.org). If you are in immediate danger, call 911. Hope this helps!

why do you guys offer a 24 hr phone number but do not answer it?

Pa Tiie | May 24, 2022
Women Against Abuse | May 24, 2022

Hi Pa, thanks for writing to us. The Philadelphia Domestic Violence Hotline (1-866-723-3014) is operated 24/7 by Congreso de Latinos Unidos, Lutheran Settlement House, Women Against Abuse, and Women In Transition. We encourage Philadelphia residents who need support for domestic violence to call this number for crisis intervention, safety planning, resources and referrals. The main number for Women Against Abuse is different than the Philadelphia Domestic Violence Hotline, which may be why you were not able to get a response. Hope this helps.
