From leading art classes, to educating each other about political issues; survivors in the Women's Group choose the direction. This builds the confidence and resilience they need to thrive after trauma, not just survive. Help keep the group running: https://t.co/9j4FrJGboN

Did you know just £3.80 can help a survivor on their journey of recovery this Christmas? Something as simple as travel fare to a vital therapy appointment could be life-changing for a survivor of torture. Cover the travel cost for a survivor now: https://t.co/3zwmisFQiT

Women across the world are being tortured for standing up for their rights. We see women in our therapy rooms from Iran to Afghanistan. This International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women we stand against ALL violence against women.
