Community Toolkit

Welcome to the Jewish Women's Aid Community Toolkit. We created these resources to raise awareness and understanding in the Jewish community about domestic abuse and sexual violence, and to encourage discussion, questions and change.

You can use the toolkit in lots of different settings: with your family and friends informally, at shul, at work, in your educational setting, or any other community space. The main point is to increase knowledge and open up the conversation in our community.

Jewish Women’s Aid Shabbat 2022 is taking place on 2-3 December and we will be updating the Toolkit before then, so that you can download and print the materials to share with your community or discuss with friends or family over the Shabbat.

Please share the Toolkit with your networks and follow us on social media to keep engaged (social icons at the top left of our website). Thank you!

Domestic abuse and sexual violence can happen to anyone.

For men who have experienced abuse, we recommend contacting the specialist support service called Respect.
