Empower
We support women to overcome trauma related to coercive control and harmful cultural practices. We address the isolation experienced particularly by women and girls who have undergone FGM, FM, HBV and DS who need emotional wellbeing support. Our wellbeing activities and therapeutic services include trauma informed yoga, individual and group therapy sessions, reproductive health workshops and more.
Impact
By promoting human rights and addressing issues such as Gender-Based Violence, Female Genital Mutilation, Forced Marriage, Domestic Servitude and Honour Based Abuse, we impact the communities we support. Our community research initiatives and staff training services further reinforce our mission to spark global change in society.
Aspire, Inspire
Our peer mentoring programme educates and trains women to advocate against harmful cultural beliefs within their communities. We support their professional development through basic cultural counselling training on FGM, cervical screening or related health issues.
Let's Talk About Harmful Cultural Beliefs
We offer transcultural therapy in relation to FGM, HBV, FM and DS.
