About Savera UK
Savera UK is a Merseyside-based national charity working to end ‘honour’-based abuse (HBA) and harmful practices. It aims to eliminate all such practices for good, through safeguarding, advocacy, education, and engagement, awareness-raising and campaigning for policy, attitude and behaviour change. It also provides direct intervention services to survivors and those at risk, regardless of age, culture, sexuality, gender or ethnicity. Savera UK’s vision is ‘a world without ‘honour’-based abuse and harmful practices’.
Our two strategic objectives are to:
- Improve the lives of people who have experienced/are experiencing ‘honour’-based abuse and harmful practices.
- Improve attitudes, behaviours and systemic responses around ‘honour’-based abuse and harmful practices.
About the Project
Savera UK have been successful on obtaining 4-year funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, to develop and implement our current and new Training and Education project. This includes delivering training and education programmes with the aim to equip professionals with appropriate skills and resources to shape their response to HBA and harmful practices. We also aim to improve knowledge and understanding of HBA and Harmful Practices among young people and the community and how those at risk and under threat can seek appropriate support.
As the project moves into a new phase, we are commissioning an external evaluator to measure the project’s impact, effectiveness, and learning outcomes.
