She.

You are safe here.

She is a confidential online resource for migrant women in the UK experiencing — or at risk of — domestic violence, forced marriage, or honour-based abuse. Multilingual content, scenario-based guidance, and a built-in quick-exit feature that redirects to a neutral website on a single click.

Why "She" exists as a separate site

Migrant women experiencing abuse face two compounded problems: isolation from English-language UK support services, and the danger of an abuser seeing their browser history. She solves both. The content is multilingual; the design is calm and low-profile; every page has a quick-exit button that immediately redirects to a neutral mainstream website (Tesco, BBC Weather, Google) and clears the back-button trail.

What She covers

  • Recognising abuse — coercive control, financial abuse, immigration-status abuse, honour-based violence
  • Crisis support — Women's Aid, Refuge, IKWRO, language-specific helplines, 999 advice
  • Safety planning — keeping documents safe, going to a refuge, what to take, who to call
  • Legal options — non-molestation orders, occupation orders, immigration consequences, Legal Aid
  • Health support — GP confidentiality, NHS sexual health, trauma-informed counselling
  • For migrant women specifically — Destitution Domestic Violence Concession (DDVC), spouse-visa abuse, no recourse to public funds workarounds

Languages

English, Russian, Ukrainian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Uzbek — the same seven languages we serve across the wider Mendee CIC ecosystem.

Quick-exit feature

A single keyboard shortcut (or visible button) instantly redirects the page to a neutral site (Tesco, BBC Weather, Google) and replaces the current history entry, so the back button doesn't return to She. The feature is documented on the site so users know what it does before they need to use it.

Partners and references

She links out to and works alongside Women's Aid, IKWRO (Iranian and Kurdish Women's Rights Organisation), Refuge, and the National Domestic Abuse Helpline. If you're a frontline organisation working with migrant women, we welcome content collaboration and case referrals.

If you support migrant women experiencing abuse — whether at a refuge, a charity, an NHS trust, or a community organisation — we can adapt She for your audience, translate content, and refer.
