SAFE ComHub is a digital platform designed to transform service delivery for black women and girls who are at risk or experiencing violence including those living with HIV, survivors of FGM, undocumented migrants, NRPF and asylum seekers.
The Hub will specifically bring strength and unity to a community that is currently impacted by the disproportionate Covid-19 deaths, domestic violence, anxiety, isolation, effects of the lockdown and lack of appropriate support.
One of the many lessons we have learned from Covid-19 is just how fragile our crucial community services can be in times like these and especially when those services are centered around outreach programs and face-to-face support networks. There is need to build our capacity to implement an online, digital alternative to complement the traditional offline, analog solutions AAF has been reliant upon pre the pandemic. That is why our Safe ComHub is such an important new phase for our VAWG services.
Over the past 16 months AAF has implemented remote service delivery using digital platforms e.g zoom to ensure our services users remain supported. However, this has not been without challenges mainly digital exclusion due to;
?Lack of equipment and connectivity
?Privacy concerns especially for women affected by violence and those that have not disclosed their HIV status
?Lack of skills and support to effectively engage on digital platforms and services
?Language difficulties, cultural barriers and faith sensitivities
As a service provider AAF does not currently have well-developed digital solutions to cater for the presenting needs of our diverse services users, particularly women and girls experiencing or at risk of violence.
SAFE ComHub is a private digital support platform that will develop;
?AAF digital infrastructures to deliver accessible, safe and secure digital services.
?A bespoke VAWG specific private digital social network, peer support, mentoring, group activities.
?Digital poetry, music, art, photography and video-based storytelling activities, webinars, workshops

This input, backing and commitment of 6 organisations with over 60 years combined expertise and experience and of working with BACs in the UK is unprecedented and gives the initiative both innovation and reach. The PrEP messaging will be delivered alongside current HIV work
