Frieda's Story
Embodying the voice, wisdom, and resistance of communities who have been marginalised and racialised, We Are Frieda CIC is a Black feminist organisation committed to transforming responses to domestic and sexual violence and abuse.
We provide intersectional, trauma-informed, and person-centred training, consultancy, and specialist advocacy support. Our work bridges research, lived experience, and frontline practice, ensuring that theory is not detached from the realities of survivors’ lives.
Through a dynamic mix of accredited training, workshops, strategic consultancy, and systems review, we equip professionals and organisations to take an intersectional stand against gender- and sex-based violence. Alongside this, we provide specialist, culturally responsive workshops and support for victim-survivors, ensuring that those most impacted by structural harm receive support that honours their agency, dignity, and voice.
Our Mission
Grounded in Black feminist and intersectional thought, our mission is to reshape how services are designed, delivered, and evaluated, embedding anti-racism, cultural competemility, and survivor-led principles at every level.
Central to our work is a call for structural reorganisation: a reimagining of systems so that they are built around the collective needs of those most oppressed, rather than retrofitted to include them.
We challenge systemic injustice, disrupt victim-blaming narratives, amplify survivor voices, and advocate for transformative change, working towards a society free from stigma, erasure, and inequity.
