Empower Victims
Domestic violence, a pervasive issue affecting millions worldwide, can take many forms, including physical, emotional, psychological, and financial abuse. Understanding the full scope of domestic violence is the first step towards empowerment and healing. By educating ourselves and others, we can foster a supportive environment for survivors and create pathways to safety and recovery.
Legal support is essential for victims of domestic violence as it provides them with the tools and resources necessary to navigate the often complex legal system. Many victims are unaware of their rights or the legal protections available to them, which can leave them vulnerable to further abuse
Becoming an advocate for domestic violence victims requires empathy, education, and a commitment to social change. Advocates are crucial in providing survivors support, resources, and empowerment, helping them navigate the complex journey toward healing and independence.
One of the most impactful ways volunteers can contribute is by raising awareness about domestic violence. Many people are unaware of the signs of abuse or the resources available to those in need. Volunteers can help educate the community through workshops, social media campaigns, and informational sessions. By spreading knowledge, volunteers help break the silence that often surrounds domestic violence, encouraging more individuals to seek help and support.
Organisation  would like to thank all of our sponsors without their contributions, we would not be able to provide care and support orphans, powerless young-women, and broken families.
Supporting former Victims gives new opportunities for life
Survivors of violence usually face numerous challenges. Violence is in the form of both physical and psychological injuries, which may require urgent and long-term healthcare, survivors may be less able to financially provide for themselves and their families and may face discrimination and victimization in communities with high levels of victim-blaming. Reintegrating survivors is a process of working with survivors to support them to become equipped psychologically, socially and financially to return to their family and local community or to an alternative environment where they feel safer. It also involves working with communities to ensure they are equipped to embrace survivors and help protect them from violence and stigma.
