In Aotearoa, where domestic and family violence affects too many lives, Women’s Refuge is a safe haven for women and children seeking freedom and a fresh start. As New Zealand's largest nationwide organisation of its kind, their vision is for all women and children to live free from violence and fear.

Thanks to the generosity of our partners — brands like AWWA, Mount SELF_, RUBY, Dermalogica, Hark & Zander, Brands.co.nz, HINE, Fluffy Ducks, and more — Shopify donations have helped amplify the work Women’s Refuge does every day.

For women like Tanya*, this support means everything:

I knew that things were not good. I wanted to leave for a long time, but it felt impossible. One night I just couldn’t take it anymore. The yelling and always feeling like I had done something wrong, it was always my fault…so I took the kids and left. I was so scared but with the support of Women’s Refuge I was able to start again and not live on the edge all the time. It was hard but I am so much happier now.

This story reflects the bravery of countless women who take the first step toward safety and the impact Women’s Refuge has. By providing not only shelter but also support, resources, and advocacy, Women’s Refuge helps women and children rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

Through Shopify donations powered by GoGenerosity, our business partners enable their customers to add on a small amount when shopping. 100% of these donations are used to provide much-needed items like period care, nappies, clothes, as well as pick-me-ups like skincare and facials. 

Every contribution, no matter how small, creates real impact, caring for these women and their children. Together, we’re showing women and children in need that they are seen, valued, and supported.

Thank you to our incredible partners and their customers for making this possible. You’re helping create brighter futures — one act of generosity at a time.
