Sikh Women's Aid

About

Sikh Women’s Aid, a new charity which will “empower victims to take control of their own lives by breaking free of toxic cultural practices that seek to disempower vulnerable members of the Sikh and South-Asian community, especially those with language barriers, that prevent them from accessing the right kind of help and support.”

Their aim is to reduce the extent of harm and violence to vulnerable people, with greater emphasis on women and children with language barriers, in the Sikh and South-Asian community are subjected to. They will achieve this via five key strands of service delivery:
• Crisis Intervention and support.
• Prevention via awareness, community workshops and training.
• Mental health support and resilience building in women and children.
• Act as a lead voice for empowering victims from a Sikh and South-Asian background who
have experienced domestic abuse, sexual abuse and violence by producing report and gather
data and statistics to ensure the female Sikh and south Asian experience in relation to VAWG
has a platform.
• Feed into policy at a local, regional and national level to bring about positive change for
victims.
