Sev Necati worked in partnership with Hyde
Housing, to deliver our award winning project “Women & Young People’s
Safety Solution.” The project worked with women and girls from the local
housing group, the stone bridge centre, and local people from the surrounding community.
The all-female group expressed how they felt
more confident and assertive about personal safety. They were able to benefit from learning real
life practical personal safety techniques and self-defence.

enjoyed learning the different techniques on how to defend myself. My favourite was the knee and elbow

dangerous situation.”

in big groups.”

the class as we had a great experienced teacher and I have made some friends

The project encouraged social inclusion by
encouraging different members of the community from a variety of backgrounds,
cultures and ethnicities to come together in one setting, share their own
personal experiences in a confidential way, assist each other in resolving some
of these challenging such as feeling isolated and being fearful of violence and
working together with practical activities to build up each other’s confidence
levels.
