“The hardest part is leaving everything behind and walking out the door…” Every woman has the right to dignity

Shame, immense fear, limited freedom, and condemnation – all of this causes women who experience domestic violence to fear restrictions imposed by their abusive partner.

Opoka is an organisation that has been helping Polish women in England lead a safe life, free from dangerous substances and sexual violence. Now, Opoka aims to have its own “safe house” – a secure place where women can receive support and assistance.

If you are experiencing domestic violence, you are not alone.
Call 0300 365 1700 (Mon–Fri, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM).
In cases of immediate danger to life, contact the police by calling 999 or 112.
