The Women’s Empowerment Festival! 

 

This event will celebrate and support women to reach their full potential. 

Zinthiya Trust recently hosted a stall at the Leicestershire County Cricket Ground on Grace Road. This event was supporting the “White Ribbon campaign” a campaign that encourages men to stand up against violence against women. 

Over 150 people from across the UK joined the Big Lottery Fund Women and Girls Initiative Conference 2017 in Birmingham on Tuesday 13th June. 

Girls are powerful. 

 

When they’re educated, healthy, and safe, they transform their communities. When girls stand up for girls in need, they empower each other and transform our world. 

The Chapel Cafe played host to our ‘newsroom’ today between 2-6pm to mark the UN 2nd International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation #EndFGM. 

Karma Nirvana is extremely concerned about the potential consequences of the private members bill, namely to prohibit the use of the term “honour” in official publications.

Worrying new figures from police forces across Britain have revealed that in some areas just 3% of reported incidents of so-called ‘honour’ based violence result in charges. 

We are absolutely thrilled to have received funding from The Big Lottery for a project to support Women and Girls suffering or at risk of FGM, honour based violence and forced marriage in Leicester and to share best practice and learnings with other organisations in the area. 

The launch of our Women and Girls Project funded by the Big Lottery took place on 25th October 2016 between 11am to 1.00pm at No 10, Bishop Street, Leicester, LE1.
