-
Through information sessions, workshops, and tutoring, increase the employability of BME women and girls;
-
Advocate against GBV and offer support services for women and girls from BME and migrant backgrounds;
-
To offer support services for BME and migrant women who are in prison or on probation;
- To render family support services and counselling;
- To train and capacitate community champions within Ipswich and beyond to be first responders within the communities regarding any issue that affects the well-being of women and children from BME and migrant backgrounds; and
