Our Founders, Rev J.K.Paul and Dr. Jane Githiari, both Christian Faith Leaders, with Counselling Psychology backgrounds, have an experience of working in both rural and urban areas of Kenya for over 20 years, and united Kingdom for over 7 years, the many cases they have handled are for women who are experiencing domestic abuse, FGM survivors, and single loneliness survivors, majority are from African Community, whose culture and religious beliefs, deny them the opportunity to speak out, others are not aware it is an abuse; since in some cultures, the man is viewed as the ” boss never to question”. Therefore it is high time to challenge such beliefs, burst out the Myths and misconceptions by educating the woman.
The Woman of ‘Faith’ has been viewed as disobedient to the Bible, Koran or any other Holy book depending with their belief, when they say ‘No’ in some circumstances, and as Faith Leaders, they see the need to challenge such norms, Myths, and misconceptions.
We aim to support This woman experiencing abuse, intimidation and is often misunderstood, due to her Faith Group and cultural background.
This woman is bound by religion and need help by bringing her into realization that it is okay to say “NO” regardless of your Faith group/culture. This woman need tailored counselling 1-1 or group counselling sessions. We aim to bring onboard professionals who understands their Faith beliefs and culture.
in UK and Wales, migrant woman, who came into the country as a defendant and got “No Recourse to Public funds” clause in their status, and come from such backgrounds where divorce is not an option due to culture or religion, is more likely to suffer in silence, due to fear of deportation by their perpetrator.
