Fighting Gender-Based Violence & FGM Awards

Project Salama

Project SALAMA is a charity providing relief to those in need that are currently, or have previously suffered from domestic abuse. SALAMA is Swahili for safe, it also means ‘safety’, ‘security’, or ‘integrity’. It translates as ‘peace’ in the following languages, Jewish (Sephardic), Arabic and Hebrew. Our charity understands the importance of safety within relationships. We offer a safe space should abuse happen in relationships. We also specialise in working with the BAME Community and understanding the impact of culture on all relationships.
