My husband wants to help

by donating to a women's shelter or rape crisis shelter. (Sort of like tithing, only in the "this bit of money is not needed this month" category rather than being able to commit to a fixed sum every month.)

He wants to donate to somewhere that really will help women, he says, and not be impossible for abused women to use because if they did they might have to be in proximity with someone male-bodied in their safe space. Or even have male voices on the telephone.

How can we (he, but I am trying to help) identify such a shelter? I'm sure it will be easy to give any shelter money, but without actually being involved which would defeat the object how can he identify such a place?

This is really messy and difficult to explain without causing offence to someone in one way or another, but if anyone can point him at places which have funding difficulties because they are firm that they are women-only, it would be very helpful. Thank you.

Look up the history of Vancouver Rape Relief & Women's Shelter:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver_Rape_Relief_%26_Women%27s_Shelter

The continuing existence of that shelter and its commitment to helping women is a thorn in the side of the worst of the women-hating trans activists. The shelter is continually under attack.
