Scottish Women's Aid is a feminist charity campaigning to prevent domestic violence against women and their children. It was founded in 1973 and is an umbrella organisation for the 39 affiliated local Women's Aid groups in the country.〔(Shelter Scotland - Women's Aid in Scotland )〕 It is the largest and oldest domestic violence charity in Scotland and coordinates support and temporary accommodation to women and their children who experience domestic abuse. The organisation also campaigns politically on behalf of female victims of domestic violence to influence public policy and conducts advertising campaigns to raise public awareness of the issue. ==History== Scottish Women's Aid came into being following visits to Europe's first domestic violence shelter in Chiswick, established by Erin Pizzey.〔http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=6fsEAQAAIAAJ&q=%22scottish+women%27s+aid%22+pizzey&dq=%22scottish+women%27s+aid%22+pizzey&hl=en&ei=T2T0TPfYGsyAhQe7_7ziBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CEQQ6AEwBQ〕 With help from local authorities refuges were set up in Edinburgh and Glasgow in 1973. By the mid seventies there were eight Scottish Women's Aid shelters.〔http://web.archive.org/web/20070914105732/www.scottishwomensaid.co.uk/swahistory.html〕 Today there are 39 Women's Aid groups affiliated to Scottish Women's Aid as well as six non-affiliated Women's Aid organisations in Scotland.〔http://www.scottishwomensaid.org.uk/assets/files/publications/general/SWA_Annual_Stats_05-06.pdf〕
