Communities are often the first to know about violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence however the way we respond isn’t always helpful. The Ask Me scheme wants to change that.
We want to help end abuse by supporting communities to give a better response to survivors but also to be proactive in finding ways to challenge unhelpful myths, attitudes and stereotypes that enable and normalise abuse.
We do this by providing free training and ongoing support that helps community members to start conversations about abuse, know where help is available, share their knowledge with others and to know how to give a supportive, helpful response to anyone who shares their experience of abuse.
After the course, community members are free to spend as much or as little time on activism around this, all we ask is that they fill in a short questionnaire once a month to let us know what they’ve been up to.
Our next course starting in February is now full however we hope to announce the dates of our 2021/2022 course in the coming weeks. Please check here or on our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram feeds for updates.
