In the UK, 2.3 million adults aged 16 and over expereinced domestic abuse in 20241. At AXA, we want to support those experiencing domestic abuse, from getting out to staying out.
We're working with Women's Aid and Smart Works to create more support for survivors, helping them get out and get their lives back on track. Currently we can support AXA Car and Home Insurance customers, who are experiencing domestic abuse, to access vital support services from both charities.
We are on a journey to offer more support for survivors of domestic abuse. It's a part of delivering on our promise to help people protect what really matters.
Women’s Aid
Women’s Aid is a national charity that works towards ending domestic abuse against women and children. Women’s Aid has a range of support services helping thousands of women and children escape domestic abuse every year.
Smart Works
Smart Works is a UK charity that helps unemployed women access professional clothing, coaching, and the confidence they need to succeed at job interviews. Over the past decade, more than 40,000 women have been supported across 12 centres nationwide, with 67% securing employment within a month.
As part of this partnership, Smart Works will provide support to women referred via AXA, Women’s Aid, and other trusted organisations. Referrals are welcomed for women aged 16 and over who are unemployed or on zero-hours contracts, and who have a confirmed or upcoming job interview. Support is available at our centres or virtually, helping reach women across the UK to access the service.

Domestic abuse can affect anyone regardless of age or gender.
