Domestic and sexual abuse continues to impact millions of individuals, often hidden behind silence, stigma, and cultural barriers. At Kaur Lab UK CIC, we provide trauma-informed, culturally competent support to women and girls affected by abuse, including domestic violence, sexual violence, honour-based abuse, forced marriage, and coercive control. Our work recognises the complex intersection of culture, faith, caste, and gender, ensuring that survivors receive support that is both safe and understanding of their lived realities.

Our goal is to ensure that every woman has access to confidential, compassionate, and effective support. Through advocacy, safe spaces, and informed pathways, we help survivors regain control, rebuild confidence, and move towards safety and independence.
