Our trust is a charity organisation working to help disadvantaged women, children and the elderly and is particularly aimed at helping those who have suffered domestic violence as well as those suffering from bereavement and other misfortunes. Our trust aim is to form guidance and confidential support to those families and especially children affected by domestic violence and whom feel isolated and detached from society. Our aims are to highlight and challenge violence against women and children; empower them to gain more control over their lives. This is essentially why we will work in close liaison with other charitable organisations that work to promote this object and also those with close connection with victims of the Tsunami disaster and the South Asia Earthquake.
Domestic violence is so unmentionable that it seems not to exist in the Asian community. It isn’t talked about, it isn’t revealed and it certainly isn’t tackled. There are few available community support groups, and many Asian women are reluctant or too fearful to seek mainstream help.
