Help us help Shakti Wellington help migrant and refugee women. Don't make us run for nothing. Yes, this is an attempted guilt trip.

Wellington

For the sixth year running the Wounded Gazelles are completing Round the Bays and doing it for a charity we care about. We're not doing this for the joy of running because running is not a joy. It is a gruelling trial that only fools like us attempt.

Shakti has been at the forefront of striving for equality and equity for migrant and refugee women in New Zealand. Shakti Wellington Refuge have been continually under funded by the government despite a needs analysis being completed and the resulting evidence pointed to a need for specialist refuge services for migrant and refugee women needing intervention and support from family violence. Furthermore, Shakti Wellington has been able to practically evidence the need by servicing over 350 women in 2016, with over 200 referrals coming in from the police.

For the sixth year "running" the Wounded Gazelles have chosen a charity that they believe could do with a little extra help and recognition for the incredible work they do. Shakti Wellington do incredible work providing home-based as well as emergency and casework related services to victims of violence in the region including a Refuge in Lower Hutt.
