Jasvinder Sanghera's Story, Survive CEO

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-38833804

Our Mission :

We seek to support men and women who have experienced rape, sexual assault as adults or sexual abuse in childhood. We aim to enable them to make sense of their experiences and to assist them with making choices that are right for them as individuals. Additionally, we raise awareness of the relevant issues in the wider community

Background :

Survive was established in 1990 as a self help group by survivors of child sexual abuse. As needs arose, a free of charge service developed to support both women and men affected by these experiences. Today, Survive is a registered charity managed by a volunteer board of Trustees and operated by paid workers and volunteers. Survivors continue to be represented within the organisation both at the Board and front-line level of the service.

Our Actions :

We give both emotional and practical support in the decision making process for our clients. This is accomplished by providing quality information and support service which is accurate, confidential, free, and independent.

We aim to raise the profile and highlight areas of change at the local level in the care of survivors of sexual abuse, sexual assault and rape and we encourage communiton participation.
