Women Together In This is a movement of healing, restoration, and prophetic leadership.

Our Mission

We volunteer with organizations that deal with FGM survivors and domestic abuse survivors. We strive to meet the needs of those who feel their faith beliefs are not taken into consideration. We have trained 44 faith leaders on FGM, and we aim to bring on board professionals who understand their faith beliefs and cultural backgrounds. We aim to create physical and virtual spaces to bring awareness, train, and empower these women.

Who We Are

We are Christian faith leaders with counseling psychology backgrounds and have experience working in both rural and urban areas of Kenya and the UK for over 20 and 7 years respectively. We have worked with many BAME migrant women experiencing domestic abuse, FGM survivors, and refugees/asylum seekers. Due to their culture and religious beliefs, many are unable to speak out or even recognize that they are experiencing abuse.

What We Do

Bringing Professionals

We aim to pass this knowledge by bringing onboard professionals who are culturally tailored to their needs and Faith beliefs.

Drop-in Sessions

We aim to open several drop-in sessions for women within the community where we provide sound advice and help for women, around protecting themselves, by conducting open and confidential conversations despite being a woman of Faith, in small groups and delivering trainings via Faith group platforms, constantly holding online conversations on Domestic Abuse awareness, Female Genital Mutilation and how to safeguard oneself from such Myths and misinterpretation of the Holy Books.

Policy Creation

We aim to work closely with various Faith leaders from different Faith groups and non-Faith, policy makers within our communities, by way of encouraging them to have clear, well written policies and procedures, on such matters which increases transparency, accountability, uniformity, and stability. Faith groups incorporate such, in their usual teachings, training, prayers, guidance and counseling etc. this will normalize everything and will take away the stigma, intimidation as well as bursting such myths. This will reduce cases for domestic abuse and violence from different faith groups, will empower women in speaking out, boost courage and self-esteem.

Prevent Violence

We aim to prevent and respond to violence against “women of Faith”, acting sensitively to their religious and cultural backgrounds, especially acknowledging challenges faced by BAME women whose religion has been mixed with culture.

Tailored Services

We aim to carry on tailored service based on the need where conversations and all personal information will remain 100% confidential. We have existing links with several women groups, we’ll build upon these relationships to expand our reach by word of mouth, advertise drop-in groups through local organizations & also social media

Practical Support

To offer practical support to women facing challenges and with no access to technology/internet by providing access to laptops and phones to seek help. We provide support groups, tailored counseling services and welcoming space for women both virtual and physical.
