WHAT WE STAND FOR
We are a UK-based charity formed to give support to victims of forced marriage and violence upon women thought to have brought dishonour on their family.
At Freedom we believe that all children should have the right to live free from abuse and coercion, without being forced into marriage or to endure the horrors of female genital mutilation (FGM). Freedom protects children through a 24/7 helpline, answered by professionals who understand dishonour abuse and how to help victims. Freedom educates children with specialist lessons around dishonour abuse, working with schools to deliver PSHE accredited lesson plans developed by Freedom. Freedom supports children and professionals with an App that puts the victim ‘two clicks away from help’. Freedom offers professional training to key workers so they can spot the signs of dishonour abuse and protect children at risk.
