Our Vision

1. To ensure all victims/survivors of domestic violence/abuse are relieved of emotional distress and suffering and to preserve and protect them of mental and physical health.
2. To ensure recognition and support for persons who are victims of, or in fear of, domestic violence and/or abuse, in particular but not exclusively for people who are migrants to the UK or of migrant origin.
3. To give people in 3rd world countries a voice so they can fight for the rights they deserve but do not have: a right to safety, a right to an education, a right to health and a right to stay in their own mother land. A right to financial stability and a right to have a say in decisions that shape their future. Together with our partners in India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Ghana, Zambia and all over the world. We strive to find sustainable solutions, through collaboration and respect.
4. To empower individuals and communities with the ability to lift themselves out of poverty and bring about change. We support, reduce inequalities, gender equality, educate and encourage people to pass on knowledge and work together to improve their rights. Together we are changing lives for the better.
