Ashiana Network

Who we are

Ashiana is an organisation working within feminist principles. We acknowledge that many women at risk of violence against women and girls (VAWG) will want to seek support from ‘women’ only services where they will also have access to ‘women’ only space. 

BAME FOCUS

Empower Black & Minority Ethnic women, particularly South Asian, Turkish and Middle Eastern women and girls with culturally sensitive advice, support and safe housing - enabling them to make positive and appropriate choices for themselves.

FEMINIST PRINCIPLES

Ashiana is an organisation working within feminist principles. We acknowledge that many women at risk of violence against women and girls (VAWG) will want to seek support from ‘women’ only services where they will also have access to ‘women’ only space. 

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

We will also ensure that the needs of BME women are addressed across all services in line with the ethos of ‘led by and for’. This provides for an environment where women are safer and feel as they are being listened to and heard.
