Sexual violence support service for women across Edinburgh and the Lothians

“Beira’s Place was established in 2022 to address an unmet need for a single sex support service for female survivors of male violence. We are proud of our work and we know how much our service means to the women who have used it. It is inexplicable that Beira’s Place has been listed as an “anti-rights organisation” in a report published last week by Amnesty International. This is deeply offensive to Beira’s Place staff who work day in day out to support survivors, and to the women who need and use our service. We will continue to focus on the needs of the women who come to us and, through the integrated work we do with partners such as Edinburgh’s Equally Safe Committee, we remain committed to a vision where women and girls can live in a world free of sexual violence.”
