MY STORY

The Antarctica OCR Expedition is a gruelling obstacle course on Union Glacier in Antarctica, encompassing -20 degree temperatures, high-winds, nearly 24 h of daylight and 10 challenging obstacles over 10 km of ice and snow. It will highlight the resilience of women and our capability to overcome obstacles - but women and children have a right to be safe at home.

I've seen women lose their independence, become totally squashed and fear for their lives while in their own home. 1 in 4 women over age 16 have experienced domestic abuse and between 2019-2022 1 woman per week was killed by a partner or ex-partner (ONS, 2023). There is not enough capacity in women's refuges and your donation to Women's Aid will help save lives through helplines, outreach support, campaigns and supporting refuge accommodation.

Women’s Aid is a lifesaving federation of frontline domestic abuse services, supporting women and children at the most challenging times of their lives. They help save lives every day and together we can create a world where domestic abuse is no longer tolerated.

Thank you for your support.
