Empowering BAME Survivors

At S.E.L.F. (STOIC) CIC, we recognize the unique challenges faced by BAME survivors of sexual abuse. Our services are tailored to meet their specific needs, providing a safe and nurturing environment where they can heal, rebuild their lives, and reclaim their sense of empowerment.

Through our support groups, counseling, advocacy, and community outreach, we strive to break the silence surrounding sexual abuse and foster a culture of understanding and solidarity. We believe that every survivor deserves to be heard, respected, and supported on their journey towards healing.

As a BAME-led organization, we are committed to amplifying the voices of our communities and advocating for their rights and well-being. We work closely with other organizations to raise awareness about the specific needs of BAME survivors and promote inclusivity in service provision.

At S.E.L.F. (STOIC) CIC, we believe that together, we can create a future where all BAME survivors of sexual abuse have access to the resources and support they need to heal, thrive, and build fulfilling lives.
