Our Society has been deeply traumatised by many years of violent conflict within our communities. Women have been the carers, the peace brokers, the family support and have themselves been victims.
This “post conflict” period now brings its own challenges to address. These include developing our own power, increasing our low self esteem and raising our confidence. There have been social consequences which we need to address: drinking and drug abuse, domestic violence and street violence.
Through funding received from the Community Relations Council we are able to provide a hugely innovative range of programmes
