The Haven Wolverhampton offers support to Asian women in the community. We have two Asian Support workers who work with Asian women in hostels and on an outreach basis. This service provides culturally sensitive support, including:
Advocating/Interpreting;
Understanding cultural problems and issues;
Information on Welfare, Rights & Immigration.
'Nein Zindagi'
'Nein Zindagi' is a 'new life' initiative for Asian women who have/are experiencing domestic violence. We meet once a week. Group activities include:
Outings, e.g. to the cinema, bowling etc.
Structured classes, e.g. crafts, cooking, DIY skills.
Or just a cup of tea and chat!

A Poem By a Resident
"I can't explain how I feel
What has happened seems so unreal,
I came to you out of the rain
And here I am today,
free from pain and sadness
And all of you, my Guardian Angels
Helped me through a long black tunnel
And out I came into the light,
I now know what I did was right
And now my heart is filled with gladness
Thank you all,
from the bottom of my heart"
