Lilith Project Conference
Forgotten Violence: Young Women and Abuse
Monday 15th March 2004: 09.30 – 16.00
At LVSC Resource Centre, 356 Holloway Road, London, N7
Introduction:
This event is an exciting opportunity for staff working in voluntary and statutory sector projects with young women, or for those wishing to include young women in their services.
It will provide opportunities to learn more about the different forms of violence facing young women including rape and sexual assault, forced marriage, domestic violence, FGM and trafficking.
It will also explore the lack of services tailored to meet young women's specific needs.
Aims:
- To increase safe choices for young women experiencing violence by raising awareness within existing services and looking to develop specialised services capable of supporting young women survivors
- To hold both young abusers, and older abusers of young women accountable for their behaviour by raising awareness among existing service providers.
Outcomes:
- To develop a picture of young women's experiences of violence and the services that are working to support them.
- To develop a picture of the exclusions faced by young women experiencing violence.
- To find models of good practice in providing services for young women.
- To develop a set of minimum standards for working with young women who have experienced/are experiencing violence
- Encourage networking and information sharing between the sectors with the aim of improving cross-sector training, collaboration and referrals and improving the range of services which are available to young women who have experienced violence.
This Conference is organised on behalf of the Lilith Project
