Support for women experiencing intimate partner violence, coercive control, and post-separation abuse.
No woman should feel trapped by fear, isolation, or a lack of information.
WHO WE ARE
Karama Foundation is a survivor-informed initiative supporting women experiencing intimate partner violence, coercive control, post-separation abuse, and other forms of relational harm.
Through education, practical guidance, mutual aid, and survivor-centred support, we help women understand their options, reclaim their autonomy, and rebuild with dignity.
25.8% of women aged 15–49 who have been in a relationship have experienced physical and/or sexual violence from a current or former husband or male intimate partner at least once in their lifetime.

Our Mission
Karama Foundation exists to ensure that women experiencing intimate partner violence, coercive control, post-separation abuse, and other forms of relational harm have access to trusted information, practical support, and clear pathways to safety, informed decision-making, and rebuilding.
How we do this:
Education & Awareness: helping women understand consent, coercion, intimate partner violence, and harmful relationship dynamics.
Practical Support & mutual aid: helping women navigate difficult circumstances and access practical support.
Community Support and Collective Care: creating spaces where women can connect, share knowledge, name their experiences and know they are not alone.
Referrals and Signposting: connecting women with trusted people, organisations, and sources of support.
Safety Planning: helping women think through their circumstances, options, and what safety might look like for them.
Public Awareness: challenging the beliefs and social norms that enable relational harm.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every woman can live free from violence, coercion, and abuse with safety, dignity, autonomy, and choice.
A world where women are not trapped by fear, isolation, or lack of information, and where every woman has access to knowledge, community, and the support she needs to rebuild after harm.
What We Believe
Every woman deserves dignity, safety, and autonomy.
The ‘shame’ of abuse lies with the perpetrator, not the survivor.
Abuse can continue after separation through coercive control and post separation abuse.
Seeking support is a sign of strength.
Knowing your options can be the first step towards self preservation
Healing and rebuilding are possible through knowledge, community, and mutual aid
In our values of Hope, Dignity and Choice
