'Feminism is the radical notion that women are people' - Marie Shear 1986

Border Women's Aid is a feminist organisation, which simply means we believe that all people are equal.  We believe that women should have equal rights, equal pay and should not be otherwise disadvantaged in any way because of our gender.

We adhere to a gendered analysis of domestic abuse which means we believe that domestic abuse against women, perpetrated by men, is a result of gender inequality in society.
