HumraazBlackburn

🏟️Yesterday our brilliant Champions Programme hosted their Violence Against Women and Girls awareness event in the Legends Lounge, inviting schools from across Blackburn with Darwen to take part. 👉The aim of the event was to raise awareness, challenge negative behaviours, and encourage positive attitudes around respect and safety. 💙We would like to thank @DarwenVale and @WPAschool for attending and supporting this important initiative. ✍️Pupils were able to engage in a range of interactive sessions and learned about consent, the dangers of non-fatal strangulation, and how to recognise unhealthy behaviours, alongside informative sessions delivered by The Wish Centre and @HumraazBlackbur . 🥋In the afternoon, pupils enjoyed an interactive session with Blackburn Martial Arts and kick boxing (BMAKB), where they watched a demonstration of breakaway techniques and learned practical skills to help keep themselves safe. 🤝The young people then networked with a number of local services that support the initiative. Thank you everyone for coming and showing your support! #BRCTInclusion #BRCTEvents #VAWG #ViolenceAgainstWomenAndGirls | @LancsPolice @LancsVRN @blackburndarwen @UtilitaEnergy Project 180 Brooke Sexual Health Burnley FC in the Community

Excited to share that we have successfully completed a self-defence course with Humraaz! 💪 Did you know that women who learn self-defence are statistically less likely to experience violence! @HumraazBlackbur #Empowerment #SelfDefence #StaySafe #Women #academyzs #teamzda

We support @SBSisters’ and their partners’ opposition to these changes. Short term support with limited to no routes for victims to apply for settlement will not urge them to come forward. Both DDVC and DVILR need to be extended to all victims regardless of immigration status.
