Hackney Women’s Haven is a unique Big Lottery funded project aimed at women and girls of African and Caribbean Heritage who have been affected by domestic violence and/or female genital mutilation (FGM).  

It is a partnership between Claudia Jones Organisation, Hawa Trust, Rise Community Action, Hackney Women’s Forum and Hackney Council for Voluntary Service. 

Hackney Women’s Haven brings together community experts who provide culturally sensitive services that enable women and their families to stay safe and empower themselves.

We understand that you come to us with multiple and overlapping identities; that you may have experienced abuse and/or discrimination.

This creates a barrier to much needed support. We will listen to you and provide confidential, non-judgemental services.
