Escape Bags

Run by our clinic, this program provides practical essentials for individuals and families leaving unsafe situations.

Our commitment

We believe wellbeing should feel natural

Many women experience domestic violence or abuse at some point in their lives. As a space dedicated to women's care, we set out to offer more than relaxation—practical help when it is needed most.

At AESTHINA STARERA, our team prepares and funds each Escape Bag. Leaving an unsafe situation often calls for immediate supplies, not just words—and we hope these bags can make that first step toward safety a little easier.

Practical, compassionate support

Each Escape Bag is assembled by our clinic team and available free of charge at reception. Every bag includes basic essentials and information about local support services—a discreet first step toward safety, professional help, and recovery.

Escape Bags at our clinic

We keep Escape Bags discreetly at reception, prepared and restocked by our team. If you or someone you know needs one, please speak with our front desk. We protect your privacy and will not ask unnecessary questions.

Our clinic is designed to be a place to relax—and, when it is needed, a quiet, safe place to ask for help.

About the program

What is an Escape Bag?

Flat lay of Escape Bag contents and essentials

An Escape Bag is a free tote, prepared by our clinic, filled with essentials and comfort items for an individual—or a parent and child—leaving an unsafe situation.

They are not labeled by gender. Parent & Child and Single Adult bags are available so people in different circumstances receive appropriate support.

To collect a bag or ask a question in confidence, please contact our team or speak with reception.
