    Objectives

    The organisation’s purposes are: 4.1 To provide free and confidential counselling, support and other therapeutic interventions to female survivors of sexual violence aged 13 and onwards caused by such experiences and promote improved emotional health. Encourage them to make better life choices and provide skills to help them determine and implement their chosen course of action. 4.2 To advance and encourage research into the prevention of sexual violence, hence relieve the suffering caused by sexual violence. Also to keep accurate data to highlight the prevalence of sexual violence and promote a change in attitudes. 4.3 To educate and raise awareness of the issues of sexual violence amongst the public, police, courts and other authorities with a view to enabling survivors to come forward and seek help dealing with these issues and encouraging them to report these crimes without fear of being judged. 4.4 To encourage survivors of sexual violence to determine their own actions and take control of their own lives after considering options available to them. 4.5 The promotion of equality and diversity by upholding and promoting the rights of women and children regardless of ethnicity, religion or cultural background who have experienced sexual violence in the belief that violence against women is symptomatic of wider structural inequalities in society and thus mainly perpetrated by men.
