SILENT TEARS

Another Selfless Project by Selfless, Why?

There are hundreds of Domestic Violence (DV) groups which exist in the UK and still DV is proving an all too prevalent issue, especially in ethnic minority communities.

Our research shows that this is due to:

a) lack of education (generally, and in particular, of legal rights) and
b) lack of accessibility to existing support services.

Objectives

This project aims to start to tackle these issues through the following methods;

1) seminars on basic legal rights;
2) legal advice sessions;
3) publicising broader support services with multi-lingual information leaflets and videos; and
4) raising awareness through traditional media (TV, radio, newspapers) and the new media (email, internet).

Silent Tears is a 3 year development project and we hope to expand our activities from the initial testing zones (East London and Portsmouth) to the full breadth of the country.
