International Women’s Day is observed annually on March 8 in order to recognise the contributions made by women, bring attention to gender inequality and discrimination, and encourage support for women around the world. In recognition of their strength and perseverance, Active Clinics awarded the residents of Gilgal Birmingham, a sanctuary for women fleeing domestic violence, a well-deserved spa treatment on International Women’s Day. It is important to acknowledge the fortitude and bravery of these survivors.
Domestic violence is an international issue that millions of women have to deal with. The goal was to provide the women with a safe space where they could unwind, relax, and refuel. This gave the victim a chance to unwind in a serene and reassuring environment, to show how valuable and respected they are, and to act as a reminder to other women that it is important to appreciate the fortitude and persistence of the survivors.
All thanks to Tammy and her team for taking their time out and making our survivors feel special for the day. If you or any one you know is experiencing Domestic Abuse, we are here to help- please call our helpline 08000086622
