SALAMA is Swahili for safe, it also means safety, security, or integrity. It translates as peace in the following languages, Jewish (Sephardic), Arabic and Hebrew. Our charity understands the importance of safety within relationships. We offer a safe space should abuse happen in relationships. We also specialise in working with the BAME Community and understanding the impact of culture on all relationships.
We aim to support individuals to live a life free from abuse. We also raise awareness of cultural norms that may encourage abuse and we also aim to fight against these so that we can encourage relationships that are safe, secure and peaceful for all. We provide emotional, practical support and services to help people who face challenging situations compounded by abuse. We help them to understand their rights and help them seek the help that they need. We will also refer them for any assistance that they may need ranging from housing, to social services and counselling. We are also helping individuals affected by post separation abuse and we aim to empower individuals.
