Our Story
In 2021, following the death of a family member who was a longtime victim of domestic abuse, our initial response as young founders to this was grief, anger and questions on why did we not see the signs. Was this tragedy preventable? Why did Naheed suffer in silence? Why did she not feel support from her family, friends or community?
Our journey started with trying to understand.
- Why does this happen: The causes leading to Domestic Violence and the grass root issues that exist in society that enable such abuse to take place.
- Where does it happen: Does it start when you are young, at home, at school, or community?
- What are the underlying causes of this issue?
- How can we prevent it from happening and protect our community?
