Please note that our Women’s Helpline (including call-back and chat services) and Sexual Assault Care Centre (SACC) will be operating with limited resources on Thursday and Friday, 23 and 24 September 2021. AWARE staff will be attending an organisational retreat on those days. This retreat will allow our staff some time to focus on our well-being, so that we can continue to offer quality services to callers and clients.

During this period, the Women’s Helpline will be running on limited service. This means that some calls may not be picked up. SACC‘s first response channels (Helpline, email and WhatsApp) and services will be entirely closed.

Our operations will fully resume on Monday, 27 September 2021. We will be able to respond to all messages from that day onwards.

You may contact the National Anti-Violence Helpline at 1800 777 0000 for support. They operate 24/7 and will be able to provide support for any violence you are facing. For emergencies, please call 999 for the police. You can also call 1800 221 4444 for the Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) if you have thoughts of hurting yourself, including thoughts of suicide.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused, and seek your kind understanding and patience during this period.
