Two Black women resting their heads together

We are a specialist domestic and sexual violence and abuse organisation, working from Black feminist praxis, with a specialism in the needs of Black and Black mixed-heritage women and girls.

Our training, consultancy and programmes are intersectional, anti-racist, anti-oppressive and trauma-informed, and we work on systems rather than symptoms.

What we do

Everything we offer is for one of two groups: the practitioners and services who hold survivors, and the survivors themselves. Both are needed, because care without system change leaves the harm where it is.
