Abuse Never Becomes Us UK

Supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse in the Tamil community #spreadANBU

[Abuse Never Becomes Us UK @ANBU_UK]

We brainstormed various sessions surrounding these themes, that we could hold both internally and externally. We hope to further our efforts and continue providing a safe space for CSA survivors!✨

In July, as a parting gift, Shavena facilitated our annual Away Day for our ANBU UK core team as an opportunity to discuss our vision and reflect on our progress!

The purpose of the event was to celebrate Tamil culture and honour our pengal (women). It was lovely meeting those who attended &spread awareness about our charity and its purpose.

We hope to continue to attend future festivals and celebrate together!

TW⚠
The legislation in the UK that covers intimate image abuse has undergone some big positive changes over the past few months. Unfortunately, there are still some gaps left to tackle.

This post briefly looks at the current laws in place and the gap that needs to be filled.

[Abuse Never Becomes Us UK @ANBU_UK]

It is a very sensitive and stigmatised subject and victims can feel isolated and shame which can make it hard to seek out the help that they need, particularly when we are from the Tamil community.

Discussing mental health can be challenging, particularly within the Tamil community. However, we want to encourage you to open up to someone you trust and access help if you are struggling. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2024 #Movement #spreadANBU

[Abuse Never Becomes Us UK @ANBU_UK]

In order to break the stigma around these conditions, we encourage people to stay informed and have more conversations.
We understand that talking about our mental health can be daunting at times, but you are not alone. 💚 #YouAreNotAlone #ANBUUK

[Abuse Never Becomes Us UK @ANBU_UK]

Our knowledge and understanding of common mental illnesses over the years has increased significantly, making a huge impact on lived experiences of mental health conditions. However, there are still several misconceptions surrounding severe mental illnesses. #EndTheStigma
