Ending Violence against Girls and Women
My work has focused on the importance of joining the dots with structural violence and root causes to end male violence against girls and women. I am passionate about collective care and activism where feminist movements are the driving force of systemic change, and have been fortunate over the past 19 years to have worked alongside and learned a huge amount from phenomenal feminist organisations and movements.
I co-conspire with feminist activists, organisations, and movements with a focus on ending male violence against girls and women embedding feminist principles across my work.
I am also available to support maternity care providers, birthworkers, doula's and/or hypnobirthing teachers working in both pre and postparum care, to provide guidance on supporting women who have experienced violence both within and outside of the maternity care system.

My offerings include;
Developing and facilitating training on violence against girls and women (understanding the terms, supporting survivors, your role as a practitioner including understanding how power dynamics and coercion can play out in practice).
Assessment of services to ensure policies and practices are embedded within intersectional feminist principles that have an anti-racist practice at its core.
Supporting survivor engagement with women centred, strength-based, and trauma-informed approach at the core to enable survivors to speak freely regarding their experiences of policies, strategies, practices and commissioning, removing forms of resistance that activists and survivors can often face with this work.
