Together, we can create a world where every woman’s potential knows no bounds.

At One Love Community Care, we recognise that domestic violence and abuse can occur not only as physical violence but also as mental, emotional, verbal, spiritual, religious, and financial abuse, among others. We acknowledge that mental health challenges and disabilities can occur in varying ways and are challenging to navigate alone. We are here to renind you that you are not simply a survivor, you are the revolution.
