The lack of opportunity to establish financial independence – whether that’s through accessible employment or study – can make it extremely difficult (and dangerous) to leave abuse environments.
Mettle is a social enterprise that employs women who have experienced homelessness because of domestic and family violence, helping equip them with the skills required to secure and maintain employment and in turn, safe and stable housing.
"With a stable income, nurturing training, and support in accessing safe housing, we're able to prevent women from returning to homelessness or their abuser" says Bronwyn Bate, Co-Founder of Mettle.
