The Elsie Refuge for women and children was a women's refuge set up in Glebe, Sydney in 1974.[1] The project was the beginning of the NSW Women's Refuge Movement that responded to the needs of women and children escaping domestic violence by providing access to specialist accommodation and support services operating within a feminist framework.
