What:
In 1999, Singapore Council of Women's Organisations (SCWO) became one of the beneficiaries of the President Star Charity to set up a crisis shelter. The President of the Republic of Singapore then, the late Mr Ong Teng Cheong, suggested the name 'Star Shelter'.
In March 1999, Star Shelter opens its doors to women and their children who have been abused. It is a charity registered with the Registrar of Charities and is the only secular crisis centre in Singapore. Since it's opening, Star Shelter has housed over 800 women and their children. Women admitted to the shelter were aged between 18 - 75 and children ranged from newborn - 11 years old for boys and no age limit for girls.
Residences at the shelter were a good mix of all races including foreign wives with Singaporean children and most of them were from the lower income group - unable to find shelter when they leave their abusive relationship. All the residences at the shelter are referred by the Family Court, The Family Service Centres, the Police, Hospitals or other Agencies who run crisis helplines, e.g. the Samaritans of Singapore, AWARE and PAVE
