Abianda’s aims for young women & girls:

• Increase their understanding of how girls and young women are affected by criminal exploitation and the associated violence

• Increase their understanding of healthy relationships 

• Have more agency in making changes they want to see in their lives

• Young women and girls affected by criminal exploitation are more able to get what they need from systems and services. 

​

Key information:

• For young women and girls*

• Affected by, or at risk of, criminal exploitation and the associated violence () 

• Ages 13-25 years-old, with similar-age groups formed 

• Small groups between 6-10 for structured programme 

• Larger groups will be considered for workshops

We can offer flexibility with how our structured group work programme is delivered and can adjust themes and depth of topics depending on the group's needs and experiences. We will work with the setting and the group to accommodate those taking part.

 

Process for organisations 

​

1. Complete our online form

2. Attend consultation meeting with the participation team, to find out more about the group work programme and if it is the right fit for the young women & girls your are working with

3. If Abianda’s group work meets the needs of young women & girls, a meet and greet session will be arranged for the group**

4. The ‘meet & greet’ session is for the group to learn about who we are, what we do and to decide if they want to work with us

5. If the group agree to working with us, we meet with you to finalise any details around the structured programme and us working together (where relevant)

 

*Non-binary people who feel that have lived experience that aligns with that of women and girls are welcome to apply

**Meet & greets sessions are mandatory for the structured programme, but might not be necessary for one-off workshops - this will be discussed in the consultation meeting
