About this service
The Sharan Project provides support and advice to vulnerable women, particularly of South Asian origin, who have been disowned. The Sharan Project, founded in 2008 is a U.K. based 'by and for' specialist charity providing support and advice to vulnerable women, particularly of South Asian origin, who have been or are at risk of being disowned due to abuse or persecution.
This could be partially or wholly as a result of Forced Marriage, potential, perceived or real threats and acts of Honour-Based Abuse, Domestic Abuse, Dowry Violence or indeed other forms of harmful practices. South Asian women suffering from abuse are often unaware of or unable to access support from critical services to meet their needs. Many live in constant fear, and are at risk of being disengaged and isolated from society, communities and families.
We offer free impartial, confidential and culturally sensitive support, advice and information on key life skills and access to information on a range of issues including health, housing, employment, education, financial, and legal.
