A morning of pampering and beauty therapy was organised for women from domestic violence shelters yesterday as part of International Women’s Day celebrations.

The women came from Dar Merħba Bik, Dar Qalb ta’ Ġesu’, Dar Tereża Spinelli and Aġenzija Appoġġ, as well as those receiving support from St Jeanne Antide Foundation and Prison Fellowship.

The women were treated to a variety of relaxation and beauty therapies, including facials, makeovers, haircuts and hairstyling.

The treatments were provided free of charge by students and lecturers from the Mcast Institute of Community Services, and gifts donated by The Body Shop were handed out.

Similar services were offered to women who could not leave the shelters.
