One in Four UK 219 Bromley Road Bellingham LONDON SE6 2PG 0208 697 2112 |
Our Purpose One in Four offers a voice to and support for people who have experienced sexual abuse and sexual violence. Research has consistently shown that one in four children will experience sexual abuse before the age of 18. Society has thus far been unwilling to face up to the deep rooted nature of this problem or the sheer scale of the long term damage it leaves in its wake.Our determined aim is to change this. Our Ethos One in Four is an organisation run for and by people who have experienced sexual abuse. This means that every person who works within One In Four identifies that they have had a personal experience of sexual abuse at some point in their lives.We exist to give voice to the experience of people who have been sexually abuse and to provide a space that by its very existence challenges feelings of shame and self blame. In the often perceived hopelessness and despair of such trauma the reality of meeting another, one who has undertaken that journey themselves, offers hope and encouragement. The creation of a community that bears witness to the isolating and silenced reality of sexual abuse fundamentally changes that reality. What we do We provide a unique service to individuals, both directly and indirectly. Directly,
through individual therapy and helpline support. Indirectly through campaigning,
policy making, in- |

Women and Girls Network (WGN) 0207 610 4678 Helpline 0207 610 4345 |
Established in 1987, Women and Girls Network (WGN) is a community- The crimes of violence committed against women and girls usually involve an assault and violation of both mind and body that can have devastating and traumatic impact on women’s lives. Where women and girls’ lives may have been shattered and fragmented, our services are aimed at providing a holistic integrated healing journey involving all aspects of self: mind, body and spirit. The definition for the word trauma is ‘deep wound’ it is therefore at this core level that healing is required for clients to set themselves free from the pain of their experiences. Our counselling model and philosophy is one that looks at the deeper layers that are affected by violence. At WGN we perceive each clients healing journey as unique. Our services are designed to offer clients the opportunity to travel along their journey. We perceive our role to be that of guides and facilitators, offering a range of destinations that can be travelled through based upon the expressed needs of each individual. WGN is based on feminist principles, which has empowerment as a key concept. All of our services are aimed at promoting total and sustainable recovery: moving survivors onto thrivers. |
