About the organisation
ABOUT GOT YOUR BACK SISTA
Got Your Back Sista (GYBS) was established as a registered charity in 2016, with a vision to see women and their children happy, thriving and living independently after escaping the trauma of family violence; in fact we’ve helped over 700 women.
Got Your Back Sista offers benevolent relief and support to women and children escaping domestic violence and are at risk of living below the poverty line.
- We give them a hand up to begin again by providing furniture and household items to set up a safe home free from violence.
- We provide one-on-one information and advice, safety planning, exit strategies and advocacy for women living with or have experienced domestic violence.
- We also empower women to thrive by running courses and programs to rebuild their confidence, self-esteem, physical and emotional wellbeing and create pathways to study and employment.
Our services are provided within Newcastle, the Upper and Lower Hunter Valley with a vision to expand to selected regional centres in NSW.
