Working to end violence against women
The Women's Support Project (WSP) is a Scotland wide charity based in Glasgow. Established in 1993, we recently marked our 40th anniversary.
We aim to raise awareness of the extent and effects of violence against women and children, and to support those affected by violence. We adopt a feminist ethos and principles in all our activities. Key themes in our work are addressing unmet need and emerging issues, making links between different forms of violence and abuse, and supporting multiagency and partnership approaches, ensuring the root causes of male violence against women and girls (VAWG) are addressed.
​
The work of WSP bridges the gap between statutory and specialist services in their response to male VAWG.
​
Our areas of focus are currently:
-
Commercial Sexual Exploitation
-
Racially minoritised women's experiences of male VAWG
-
Technologically facilitated harm

A manifesto for a fair future for women in the 'sex industry'
Women who sell or exchange sex remain one of the most marginalised sectors in our society. For the 2026 Holyrood election, we are asking for concrete actions to ensure women with this experience are equally safe, equally seen and equally supported. Click on the cover and read our manifesto.
