About the Breaking the Silence Initiative
The four-year initiative 2019-2022 aims to measure the effectiveness of a community-based approach to raise awareness in South Asian Communities living in Leicester about the trauma of childhood sexual abuse and the value of counselling. The project received an extra year of funding from Comic Relief after demonstrating great results and learning throughout the project.
