Educate, Empower, & End abuse.
A note from our Director.
I started Women of Refined Gold after experiencing physical and verbal abuse for ten years. After finally finding the courage to leave with my three daughters, I made it my mission to help other women do the same and to provide a safe-haven. I also make it my mission to spread awareness of this silent killer among women in our communities.

We believe all women can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and thrive after abuse.
