Established in 1986 The Women’s Centre was originally set up to support women on their journey leaving Women’s Refuge. 

Once the Refuge established its own support system the focus of The Women’s Centre shifted to serving all Christchurch women.

The Centre is a safe space for all women to access resources, counselling, or information about further support services.
The Women’s Centre is committed to a future based on Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Our Vision

A world in which all women have equal rights and objectives.

Our Mission Statement

The Women’s Centre works with and for the well-being of all women, by assisting, encouraging and supporting them to make informed choices in their lives.
